Snoqualmie Falls Copperhead Pale Ale

Brewed by Snoqualmie Falls Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Snoqualmie, Washington USA

Straight forward and well made. Body is copper with a nice frothy head. Aroma is quit hoppy with a citrus note. Nice malt body with a finish of earthy hops.

Enjoyed at a tasting. I found this beer to be quite fragrant with citrus scents and residuals. It was ’low acid’ and thus quite palatable and easy to drink. I definitely wouldn’t mind having another if someone smuggles another up here to Vancouver..

opened this little guy last night with some pasta, are you suppose to drink pale ales with pasta? of f’n course you are. this was the next notch down from their steller ipa. color of copper rods and nice tan mushroom smoked head. notes of citrus and vanilla in the air. nice malt character and a right hand upper cut of citrus floral hops on the back burner, easy and enjoyable to drink even for the weak at heart. bamm!

(22 oz bottle: $3.39 at Bottleworks in Seattle, WA) This is a pretty tart and citrusy pale ale. Lightly sweet and grainy pale malts are almost overwhelmed by the dominant grapefruity hops. It’s quite tart, but not especially bitter. The nose is a bit more balanced, with the grainy malts at least showing some presence, though still being submissive to the citrusy aroma. Light-to-medium bodied, but obviously the grapefruity hops makes for a very clean and crisp pale ale. Dark golden in color, but a significant amount of dark particulate adds an interesting display, ranging from tiny dots to large flakes. The off-white head isn’t all that large, but shows good retention and leaves a fair amount of intricate lacing on the glass. Not my favorite kind of pale ale, being that the malt is so far in the background to be seemingly inconsequential, but it’s still a drinkable beer.

Clear copper appearance. Sweet tropical fruit, pineapple and grapefruit aroma. Crisp refreshingly hoppy palate, mildly fruity, biscuity undertones. Decent grapefruit bitterness in the finish but not overwhelming.

A great one from Snoqualmie. I’ve got a buddy that lives in Snoqualime and we always buy it from the brewery in the growler to go. Great flavor. Great aftertaste.

A nice west coast pale, tis for sure. Pours an orange amber with a nice rocky head and some lacing. Some grass and toasted malt in the aroma. Flavor of biscuity and toasted malt, piney hops and residual sweetness. A nice drinker. Thanks to Andre for the sample.

Bottle Pours a a clear sparkling light orange/amber with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma is a pleasant grain, bread yeast and malt ensemble with hops and honey also in there. Flavors are mostly the hops and sweet malt. Actually quite well balanced I think. I was expecting a more blah pils tye but this is quite tasty. Feel is a little "dusty" and the aftertaste is a nice slight bitter.
