Otter Creek Pale Ale

Brewed by Otter Creek Brewing
Style: American Pale Ale
Middlebury, Vermont USA

Fruity, citric hop aroma, definite grapefruit notes courtesy of the Cascades, with a faintly toasty and sweet malt background. Light, hazy amber color with a slight head. Flavor begins with a small amount of hop and malt, the hops intensifying throughout and providing a light-moderate amount of flavor and bitterness which peaks at the finish. Some light astringency as well. Light-medium bodied, palate is rather insubstantial. Fairly boring.

Lacking in body, but drinkable. Pours like a standard pale with a moderate head, flavor is yeasty (bready) without much pizzaz. Far too light in the mouth, watery but ends with some hop lingering. An ok beer but there are far better.

Clear light golden-orange color, decent size white foamy head, that leaves a decent lacing in the glass, light bready and citrus aromas, mild malt and hop flavors. Light to medium body with a soft and somewhat watery mouthfeel, finishes with a nice bitterness, seems to be a good session beer.

Average looking white head, clean clear amber. Aroma of fresh cascade hops with sweet malt, slightly woody notes. Hoppiness well pronounced up front, medium body, shorter end. Pleasant aftertaste.

Copper colorwith small white foamy head.Slight citrus aroma.Malt/bread flavor with a prickly carbonation mouthfeel on your tongue.bitter finish.

Deep clear copper pour with a medium bodied off-white head. A wierd hops aroma, somewhat faint as well. Odd taste. Not much of a Pale Ale. Some hops, but finishes kind of piney and very abruptly. Bad aftertaste as well. Left me with a bad impression.

Orange-brown color. Piney hop aroma. Hoppy bitterness up front, followed by a malty sweetness. An average pale.

Ok, maybe it's just because I haven't had a Pale ale in a while, but this beer is damn good. COul use a little more hops, but has a nice smell and a tangy orange taste to it.
