3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cask at Pizzeria Paradiso in Georgetown. Served at cellar temperature. Poured a slightly hazy medium orange color. Head was thin, white, and left some lace behind. Pleasant aroma of citrusy/flowery hops and malty caramel. Smooth cask mouth feel with a touch of sweetness and expected light carbonation. There was also some mild hop bitterness. Nicely balanced flavors that followed the aroma. Great beer.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Orange red pour with a white head. Terrible skunky aroma. Slightly sweet, almost syrupy yeasty flavor with the same sort of skunkiness detected on the aroma. This stuff was terrible. I’ve liked almost everything I’ve tried from Troeg’s but was severely disappointed by this one.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a clear golden, light amber with an inch of delicate white head. Nice aroma of hops and lightly caramel malts. Aroma is kind of week, a little fruity as well. Kind of hoppy for a pale ale although by no means overpowering. The initial taste is a little fruity like the smell. No Stone Pale Ale but pretty good session beer.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
light body, soft carbonation, long finish. Pours a 1.5 inch head. Nice clear golden color. Nice solid, but not overbearing hoppy punch.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours orange amber with a very thin white head. Good grapefruit hop aroma but a little weak. Mild fruit flavor with a light hoppy bitterness on the finish. Watery, not much body. Good session beer.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A bit skunky for my taste, but wasn’t bothered by it through the entire beer as I usually am with skunky beers. Also pretty watery, which seemed to enhance that skunk.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Good quality and easy to go down, this beer’s got a good hoppiness in it and a moderate bitterness. It’s a little more watery than most pale ales, but it’s solid in flavor.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours golden in color with a nice white head. Aroma of grapefruit, pine and citrus. Flavor is more of the same but somewhat mild and subdued compared to other quality APA’s. Bitterness hangs on at the end. Good brew. Easy to drink. Definte session beer. Had this one after Mako’s baseball practice.
