Palmetto Pale Ale

I liked this a lot. Lightly bitter taste and finish. Well balanced with some caramel malt. Some spices and citrus in the taste as well. Nice complexity.

12oz - Gift from Emma. Copper on pour, just bad - drain pour. Looking at the comments of others I think i got a bad bottle.

pint. pours a light orang amber with mild head. some fruity citruss notes. relatively bitter on the finish. pretty good sessionable pale.

A very decent APA. Drank from a bottle at the NAC in Columbia. Hoppy, orange in color, and crisp. Very nice for out on the balcony with some new friends.

A nice pale ale that pours a hazy copper. Spicy with mild hops. A great hot-weather beer.

Pours a light color color with a white head. Aroma is sweet slightly fruity with a hint of some hops. Flavor is sweet, fruity, with a light earthy bitter finish.

Bottle. Copper with a small head that doesn’t hang around much. Aroma is mostly nutty roasted malt with some undistinguished hops. Flavor is same. Palate is light-medium, with a slight hop tingle. Tasty, but not exciting. Still, it’s one of the better brews of SC.
