Commercial Description:
This beer was brewed in celebration of the 135th Anniversary of Schell's several years ago. It was so popular, we re-introduced it under the name German Pale Ale.
Pale Ale is really a hybrid—the best characteristics of an India Pale Ale's English malts and hops, combined with a German Alt yeast. It is medium in color, with a pronounced bitterness and a pleasant flowery hop aroma. Schell's is the only brewery that produces this particular beer style.
Ingredients: Pale 2 Row, Baird’s Carastan, Baird’s Munich, and Cara Pilsner malts, Chinook, Cascade, and Kent Golding hops.

Bottle, part of a sampler pack. I thouroughly enjoyed this pale ale. poured with a decent color, small white head, hoppy aroma that followed through into the taste. Great follow through to the finish. A great american pale ale, that I would enjoy again.

I’m not into Pale Ales much but this one alright. Good coIor and flavor. But I really diidn’t like the finish. It was kind of bitter...bitter in a bad way.

[Bottle] Pours a clear copper with a medium soapy head. Aroma is citric hops, and a little bit of malt. Flavor is a bit thin, but not bad. Typical hop profile with a little malt in the background.

Not bad actually. Probably my favorite out of the variety pack. I got a lot of malt characters along with a hint of caramel towards the finish. Hop bitterness was just right balancing quite well with the rest of the flavors. Would buy again.

Light amber-orange with a thinnish head. Surprisingly malty (English slant). Big caramel. Moderate amount of snappy, grassy hops. Overall, I thought it was a pretty agreeable, nicely balanced pale. Reminded me of some Canadian “IPAs” I’ve had.

Pale amber with a big fluffy off-white head. Mild un-noticable aroma. Taste is malty sweet with a medium hop bitterness and some citrus. They claim it’s a hybrid between an IPA and an Alt. That’s pretty close. It’s tasty and well balanced, but nothing real special.
