Palmetto Pale Ale

Brewed by Palmetto Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Charleston, South Carolina USA

I enjoyed this beer a great deal. Had a bottle of it with some sushi at sunami in Charleston. Suprisingly smooth and refreshing. A reccommendable bear for any pale ale fan.

Coppery brown/golden color. Smells good and has a smooth taste. I like it. The aftertaste lingers and it tastes better than the first taste.

Nice copper color and a nice malty aroma. Clean, malty taste with a quick burst of malty in the aftertaste with a mild lingering bitter aftertaste.

Pours dark golden with a nice white head. Lots of carbonation. Earthy aroma. NIcely hoped and decent malt. A well made pale ale, but nothing too spectacular.

Bottle pours translucent golden, small white frothy head, spotty lacing, with mild carbonation.   Grain/cereal nose, not much hop in there.   Dirty up front, quite grainy, blech.   Body and mouthfeel are medium, bordering on the watery side.   At least if its not going to be very hoppy, it does have a nice malt backbone.   Finish is a bit astringent.   Only a mild bitterness on the tip of the tongue exists.   NEXT!

Copper-orange. Nose generically hoppy, flavor similarly so, a not particularly pleasant lightly sweet and astringent finish.

2004 bottle @ the gathering. Deep yellow-gold, mostly clear, small white head. Aroma of metal, hay, floral hops, sour yeast. Flavor is metallic and hoppy, very flowery and bitter, with no malt to speak of and then a watery death for the finish. Medium-light body, over-carbonated. Can’t find much use in drinking this.

Hazy amber body with minimal white head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, toffee, grapefruit. Watery light-medium body. Not sure what others see in this beer, but this one did not appeal to me at all.
