COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The country ales of France inspire our Fall seasonal beer, Bridal Ale. Bridal Ale was originally brewed in celebration of the wedding of two Pelican staff members, brewer Travis Zeilstra and server Jen Pelletier. This year’s edition of Bridal Ale features a deep copper color and a rich, toasted malt character. Subtle floral hints and fruity notes punctuate the aroma, while a slightly sweet malt flavor and warming effect characterize the finish.

750 ml bottle at Otown Throwdown III. Shared by gumby. Pours a moslty clear copper orange with a thin lasitng off white head. Aroma is sweet yet slightly tangy malt, toast, light bread, vienna biscuit tone, fresh cooked brown malt in the oven. Flavor is earthy, grass, then more nutty biscuity malt, fresh bread, doughy, herbal hops, mostly dry, clean and almost lager-like. Good stuff.

Dogbrick (4531) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - FEB 14, 2010
Sample at the brewpub. This brew is a clear orange color with a medium white head that diminishes to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malt and floral hops. Medium body with flavors of floral hops, sweet malt, caramel and a touch of yeast. The finish is hoppy with a lingering floral finish. Above average overall.

2005 vintage, signed by the brewer drank at another awesome Utah tasting. Pours a light brown color with a small white head. A sweet malty nose, light caramel. The flavor is similar; earthy malts, toasted, sweet bready fruit, lots of oxidation quite dry. Still, enjoyable after 5 years.

This bottle had very little carbonation and had a watery mouthfeel. It was tasty though.
