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.

Very middling APA, with little going for it other than it was cold and wet. Strangely sweet aftertaste and overly-fruity mouthfeel made this beer a little unquenchable for its style.

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.

bottle, golden yellow color with not much head, light fruity flavors with not much hops, even mouthfeel and fading finish

Water tastes metallic, like the beer is fermented in rusty steel drums. Flavor and Aroma are weak, like a slightly hopped macro lager. I am beginning to think that the best thing at Santa Fe Brewing Company is their concerts.
