Dogbrick (2166), Columbus, Ohio, USA Apr 20, 2008 Sample at the brewpub. This brew is a clear amber-gold color with a medium thin light beige head that diminishes slowly. Large band of lace at the top of the glass with spots underneath. Aroma of hops and citrus, plus a touch of sweet malt. Medium-bodied and moderately hoppy with notes of citrus and pine. Sweet malt is present in the background as well. The finish is hoppy with a bitterness that lingers a bit. Overall this is a decent and inoffensive APA, which is probably about the best you can hope for in a casino brewpub.
torourke (7), West Melbourne, Florida, USA does not count Jul 14, 2008 My favorite beer at the Triple 7 brewpub. This Pale Ale is a little more hoppy and potent than most Pale Ales and is bordering on IPA territory. It reminds me of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale but is a tad more hoppy and floral and therefore better. I drank this a the main bar while playing video poker and the beer was free. Even if one doesn’t play the machines the beer is still cheap at the main bar at $1.75 per pint. A very good Pale Ale and well worth the coin. BeerBelcher (698), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Jun 20, 2008 A really not bad, but unremarkable IPA/APA. When I received it, I thought it was the Raspberry Cream Ale I’d just had, as it had the exact same dark amber color and just barely there head. Aroma was decidedly hoppy and a bit fruity; pretty nice. Flavor was also not bad, but not really above average given the number of great IPAs/APAs on the American market. Mouthfeel was OK and I found this beer to be pretty drinkable.
I would recommend this beer, which I had on-tap at the brewpub. egajdzis (2879), Terrapin, Pennsylvania, USA May 25, 2008 [Draft @ brewpub] Poured an amber color with a small off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, citrus fruits, pine, and light caramel. Taste of citrus fruits, caramel malts, pine, and light toast. A very nice pale here, by far the best beer I had from this brewer. kmeves (981), Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA May 15, 2008 Pours a light brown straw body with a frothy white head. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit and light pine. Flavor is grapefruit, caramel and light pine/citrus. Light-medium body, sticky texture. A very good lighter bodied APA in my opinion.
