3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20On tap at the PBC ’Brew Pub’. I’m assuming this is the one I had. The waitress said this was called the ’Old Bastard’ and was an ’Ale’. Poured a medium golden/amber color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of mainly citrus and lightly floral. Tastes of citrus and light caramel. Thinner body.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a dark yellow-gold color with a large creamy off white head that lingered and left incredible lacing. The aroma was floral hops, perfume, rose water and vague herbs. The flavor was dry, nutty, perfumey, herbal and floral with a bitter, tangy and off soapy presence. Long finish and medium body. Not good.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft. Pours amber with a white head. Lighter floral and citric hops, with pale malts and a light caramel malty sweetness. Well balanced and easily sessionable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at PBC. Poured hazy dark straw toward copper with off-white head. Nose was assertive resiny hops, caramel malt, peppery notes. Tasted crisp, caramel malty, with a nice solid hop element that integrated well with the malt. This one was good.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
On tap at PBC. Amber pour with a white head. Hoppy aroma with a little sweetness hiding underneath. Really nice flavor, mildly sweet malt with a dominant but not over the top hop kick, perfectly balanced and easy drinking... the perfect session beer. Probably the best APA ive ever had.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
This is a new offering from Pocono Brewing and is not the same beer as the PBC Pale Ale that was brewed several years ago. Draught. Arrived at the table in a pounder glass a clear gold with a very thin head that faded to a ring after several sips. Light aroma of flowery hops and malt. Flavor was a bit light but balanced between malt and hops with some lingering hops bitterness at the finish. Very easy to drink.
