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.

Pours a clear copper orange with a thin, wispy white head. Has a nice, fresh, floral English hoppy aroma with a hint of toasted caramel malty sweetness and some earthy citrus. Starts with a sweet caramel maltiness, some earthy toasted notes and a piney bittering hoppy balance, with a blander, muddled dry finish. A decent APA with a good aroma.

Bottle: Copper pale color, light head and lacing. Nose of very light hops, thin malt and grass. The flavor is thin, grassy and lightly hoppy. Very stale and thin. Meh.

The body is a pale amber and the rocky off-white head laces in huge chunks and globs. It has an aroma of orange petals, tangerines, and pink grapefruit complemented by a soft caramel sweetness. In the flavor the malt tastes grainy and sweet, the hops doing a nice balancing job. Okay.
