Commercial Description:
nything but a typical American Pale, Santa Fe Pale Ale is as full bodied as its most robust English counterparts, while asserting its American origin with a healthy nose resplendent with Cascade and Willamette hops. It finishes with a well-balanced combination of the subtle, almost Pilsner-like maltiness accentuated by the German yeast used to brew this Santa Fe classic, and a hop bite sufficient to leave a lingering smile on the face of any fan of American Pale Ales.

Light sweet malt aroma, almost corn-like. Fairly hazy, medium gold in color. Sweet, lager-like flavor, light peach and melons, with faint hints of berry and citric hops. Fairly creamy and full. Some creamed corn.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a hazy amber, slight off-white head that went away quickly. Aroma of malt and some hops. Flavor is malty with some hop flavor and med. bitter....Mputhfeel is light-med. body with high carbonation. Overall, a pretty basic pale ale. Easy drinking...good.

This has a cloudy amber color, off white soapy looking head. Really nice clean aroma of citrus, pine and a touch of soap. Crisp tasting malt with decent hops bitterness that lingers in the mouth. Overall: I plan on drinking more of this. A gem of a pale ale!

On tap at the Albuquerque airport. Went down pretty smooth. Not a bad IPA.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy light amber with a 3 finger heavily carbonated off-white head and delicate lacing. Nose is light citrus and some spiciness. Taste is sweet malt and light citrus with a sour spicy aftertaste. Light mouth feel. Interesting beer. Refreshing for sure.
