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.

12oz bottle: musty and spicy hop aroma, along with caramel maltiness. the hop bill makes it obvious what it should smell like, indeed an interesting hybrid. The flavor is also something different, but doesn’t entirely work as a pale ale-most likely because of the german alt yeast. Still worthy of trying, very unique.

Tasting Three Cellars Milwaukee. Another fine brew from Schell ! Good dose of hops and slight spices. Very smooth.

Poors a golden color with virtually no head. Hoppy aroma of citrus and pine. This is definitely not my style of beer. Too hoppy and bitter for me. Although the malts did come through a bit more as it warmed up.

Courtesy of Juart about a year ago (oops). Pours a deep honey amber orange with tons of sediment. A thick foamy head that has a little bit of lasting power. Nose is pine and flowery hops with some apple juice and a slight metallic note. The flavor has a slight fruity sweetness and a bitter that cuts through at the end, but just has tons of metallic rusty flavors and aromas. I’m sure this is my own fault for forgetting about it for so long. The hop character is a little weak now but it was probably once pretty decent. It does have a pretty solid full body.

Poured a clear brown color. Aroma of hops. Tasted of hops with a bitter finish. Superb overall beer, and a great pale ale.

Because it is from Schell, this is a very easy drinking Pale Ale, drinkable amounts of citrus hops, malt and light sweetness, with just a touch of bitter. A taste I would never tire of.
