Palmetto Pale Ale

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

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.

Bottle. Nice copper-colored beer with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. You can still taste the malt while not being overwhelmed by the hops. Overall, a very drinkable pale ale.

Bottle. Hazy orange, small slick white head with bubbles. Nice aroma of grapefruit like citrus hops, maybe a bit of tea. Taste is surprisingly quite bitter - lots of hops, this time more orange citrus in nature I didn’t really care for the light malt background, it had an interesting sweetness that just didn’t mix well with the bitterness. But this light to medium bodied APA finished well, with a long tip of your tongue bitter linger. A nice beer from these guys.

The best beer yet on my trip to Myrtle Beach (other than their porter). Deep amber pour with a 1 finger white head. Aroma of grassy hops. Taste was grass, hops with just a teensy bit of malt. Not bad.

Bottle. Orange-amber with a thin but foamy top; wispy aroma of a hop flower, the flavor is slightly more aggressive, but not much. Citricly hoppy but tight, with a nice melodic balance. Nice tarty edge defines this beer. Well done. (#2816, 4/22/2007)

A decent deep and bright orange color. Has brilliant hops to add a bitter flavor. Very decent pale ale.

Purchased six pack while visiting USC with my daughter. Geens is a major liquor and beer supplier near USC. This Pale Ale has an inviting golden color with a smallish head and lacing down the glass. The hop flavors of mild grapefruit were evident. The finish was smooth with some bitterness. My son and I enjoyed this ale after the spring gamecocks spring game. This is my first Palmetto beer. I am looking forward to trying their other products.

Pours golden with a fully receding off-white head. Aroma of mild grapefruit, lightly acidic, green hop leaf. Taste is grainy (in a good way), lightly acidic, and lightly hoppy. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with full carbonation. Good beer from a pitiful beer state.
