Pike Pale Ale

Brewed by Pike Pub & Brewery
Style: American Pale Ale
Seattle, Washington USA

Beer appear to be clear and copper in color, with a very minimal head barley a skiff appears on top and when I give it a swirl the small amount of bubbles spin slowly looking a picture of a hurricane from space, nothing great looking about this brew. Very sweet aroma, hops dominate but not to over powering and the hops aren’t citrusy they have more of a candy sugar quality. I think after ten minutes of smelling I’ve smelled all smell out of this brew can’t pick up a thing anymore. This beer has more bitter then flavor, mild citrucy hops and is nice and malty, I’m really digging the maltiness of this brew. This is getting more and more bitter by the second, the warmer it gets the more bitter it is. The brew is very simple, not complex at all and that is a good thing some times when you just want a beer to slam."

Sweeter pale ale than most. Malt is heavy and slightly balanced by the hop profile, but in the end meh.

Pale orange with minimal white head. Heavy sweet malty aroma with some fruit and light grass hops. Aroma is just too sweet for me. Flavor is sweet but has slightly better balance with the hops. Malts, molasses, light citrus hops, a touch of earth, and a malty, bready finish. Syrupy mouth. Decent, but not what I’m looking for in a pale.

On tap at the Pike Brewery. Poured a nnice copper color with a thin white head. Aroma was malty, a bit of grapefuit and other citrus. Good pale ale. I’d be happy if Igot this during a homebrew session.

bottle, almod color with some white lasting foam, aroma is malty sweet syrup, flavors of sugar cookies, maple syrup, malt, good finish

Nutty toasted grain aroma. Caramel and grain flavor. Bitter grapefruit hop finish.

22oz bottle from BevMo. Pours a cloudy deep orange color with a frothy off white head that left some spotty lacing. Light nose of citrus and toasted malts. Nice hop bitterness on the palate, very clean. Not much going on with the flavor, a decent session pale.

Pours a slightly amber gold with a medium, off-white head, lacing minimal. Aroma of hops, malt, pine, and grass. Flavor is similar with the addition of bread. Not bad, but nothing special.
