Triple Jump Pale Ale
Eugene City Brewery

 

 

 

 

had this at the huge kickbacks dinner in Jacksonville, FL. I took some notes but mostly doing this from memory.
Appearance: light copper color and nice lacing
Smell: citrus pine aromas
Taste: a solid hopped up pale ale. very sessionable and light on the body

On tap at City Brewing & recommended by the bartender. Served in a standard pint, the beer is copper with a thin skim of off-white head.

Nose is of citrus, pine and grains.

The taste is in the wheelhouse for a APA. Crisp malts and nice grapefruit based bitterness. A bit of caramel and crackers at mid-glass. Bitterness increases as the beer warms.

The mouth is slightly oily and coating.

They told me this one beer has recently won some awards, I can see why. Well-done Eugene!

A: Bright, clear orange/gold color. Poured a 2 finger coarse white head with excellent retention. Lightly decanted. Lots of sticky lace.

S: Citrusy floral hop aroma. Lightly toasted bready malt.

T: Sweet, bready malt and floral hop character. Sharlpy bitter finish to balance.

M: Medium bodied. Medium carbonation. Bitter, dry finish for nice balance.

D: Splid pale ale. Easily drinkable.

Served it up in a tall narrow Hopworks mug....

- Orange, and hay colored cloudy, yeasty, almost farmhousy ale with a fluffy white foam...

- Trying to go off memory here, but as I recall there was a nice scent of bittering hops... caramel malt, and a breadiness from loads of yeast. Zesty, and tart.

- Smooth, grainy, and bitter hoppy.. caramel, and yeast... a very creamy smooth pale.

- Overall medium bodied, a touch dry, but bright enough to salivate.

- A decent pale, but over yeasted and bready for my tastes...

Served in straight pint glass. Poured a clear orangeish-amber with about an inch of barely off-white head that dissipated quickly and left little lacing.

A fairly neutral and subdued, yet balanced, aroma floats to the nose. There is a nice mixture of malt and floral hops. The flavors are very similar, just a little sharper and better defined.

The body and drinkability are both typical for the style. Overall, a decent beer, worth trying if you see it, but probably not worth a lot of effort to obtain.

This beer pours a cloudy orange,honey colour with nice carbonation that leaves a rather frothy two finger head with nice lacing,the aromas are honey,citrus and piney hops,it has a nice above average mouthfeel which starts out quite full then finishes nice and thin and the hops used in this brew definately come together so nicely with only a touch of the malts on the palette and also finishes with a touch of alcohol warmth but not much,quite a nice drinking beer that would buy again.

A - Poured into a pint glass a slightly hazy orange hued dark golden colour with a few centimetres of densely packed slighly off white head.
S - Floral, tropical citrusy hop aroma with slight toasty, bready malt quality.
T - Hops also coming through quite strong in the taste balanced by the toasted bread maltiness.
M - Medium bodied, medium to high carbonation. Slightly bitter & dry finish.
D - Tasty yet simple. A beer I'd happily drink again.

22 ounce bottle acquired in a trade a few months back, reviewed from notes, served in a Port Brewing pint glass, color is copper with some orange tint, 1 1/2 inch foamy white head, minimal lacing, aroma has pine needles, lightly toasted malts, bread, orange peel, grapefruit, crystal malt, and mango, starts off with crisp with some hops and fruit that seems to be dried apricots, toasted malts in the middle, finish has some citrus but the piney hops seem to dominate the palate, dry, bitter, and citrusy mouthfeel, thin to medium bodied, very lively carbonation, taste lingers for a long time as far as the style is concerned, a flavorful pale for sure, could drink this bomber and I did a few nights ago, light and smooth, would drink again, worth trying

Thanks Theo!

Pours a light amber in color with a big three inches of cloudy white head. The head sticks around and when it does recede it leaves sticky, webby lacing all over the glass.
Smell is just nice solid hoppy goodness. Nothing over the top, but just what you'd expect, very nice.
Taste is a well rounded pale ale. This is perfect for a nice spring day doing some yardwork. Plenty of piney and floral hops are present. Crisp hop bitterness in the flavor and mouthfeel. Very sessionable and a decent offering.

A beautiful vibrant amber that looks like a million bucks. The smell lets you know you're about to embark on a delicious journey through a hoppy, yet quite balanced, West Coast pale ale.

The taste does not knock you off your feet with hops at first at all, but it's certainly a hop-centric brew. However, the malts used add a perfect balance and create an underlying sweetness that increases drinkability. I can't say enough about the balanced, refined taste of this brew. It's just so good, but not screaming "Look at me! Look at me!" Mouthfeel is also sublime with plenty of lingering hop spice.

I can't get enough of this beer, and sadly, I only split one bomber with a friend. For "just" a pale ale, this is worth its somewhat high price tag. One of the very best pale ales I've ever had. Need to find it again. Really blown away, especially since I wasn't expecting to find such a drinkable go-to brew in this beer.

Bottle from Keg Liquor.

Poured a hazy copper color with a large frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate citrus hops and malty aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.

I would recommend this to a freind.

Orange amber with a nice dense off white head that leaves pretty lace on the glass. Smells of piney hops and grapefruit with a little fresh doughy (pacman?)yeast and caramely malt. Grapefruit, pineapple and lemony tasting hopiness is well balanced with a slightly sweet maltiness. Smooth mouthfeel with some oily hop resin on the tongue. A great beer, one of the best APA's I've had in a while, delicious. Buy this if you get the chance.

22oz. Bomber

Pours a very nice hazy golden orange color, nice carbonation, nice little fizzy/creamy off-white head, which leaves some nice thick creamy/sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, nice malt note, citrus and pines. The taste is sweet, hoppy, malty, nice touch of citrus/pines. Medium body, very nice bitter/dry finish. Very drinkable, a very tasty brew.

Thanks to skourtis for this 22-ounce bottle!

Pours hazed golden amber with a thin white head that styas and leaves lacing.

The smell is of citrus - grapefruit/lemon.

The taste is of citrus - grapefruit/lemon with bready/grainy backing. It might have some of the signature Rogue "Pac-man" yeast strain (with the "Rogue" cap - was expecting it - and certainly not complain - it's there, but not much - it's doing it mainly "on its own". It has a great hop/malt balance and flavour. It has a bitterish, dry-ish, clean finish.

It has a creamy medium-body. Very smooth.

Very drinkable! A nicely hopped American Pale that is easy-drinking. If it came in 6-packs, and were available in my area, it would make a nice "sessioner".

I had this beer and the 200 Meter back to back. At first, I didn't realize that Eugene City was a Rogue spin-off, much like North Coast launched Acme. The parallel continues in my mind, as I found these Eugene City beers to be pretty inferior to the standard set by the beers of the Rogue family (although not lousy, as the Acme beers are compared to North Coast's excellent beers). I was less than impressed by both the Triple Jump and the 200 Meter.

The Triple Jump poured a medium hazy amber with very nice, smooth, creamy head that was worthy of a thousand photographs. Aroma was fainter than I expected for a pale ale, but discernibly hoppy with some faint citrusness. Flavor was quite mild, a bit of what I will describe as wheatiness (although I am pretty sure there is no wheat in this beer) or straw-glass flavor balanced with some light citrus hoppiness. Not bad, but hardly outstanding.

I would weakly recommend this beer. I bought this bottle at Discount Liquor in Milwaukee.

A-Pours a light hazy orange color with a very tight and thick head,great lacing.

S-It has a slight floral nose with a heavy citrus and pine aroma.I don't pick up much malt.

T-First taste is bitter pine but as it warms it becomes a sweet citrus flavor with a nice smooth malt finish.

M-A strong medium bodied beer that has a crisp,clean mouthfeel.

D-Not overpowering,very dribkable.I just wish the place I purchased gets more.
