Crystal Pale
Helldorado Brewing Co.

This beer has a wispy pale head, perhaps a hint of haze shows up in this full gold colored brew. The aroma is lightly floral with notes of lemon and a hint of herbalness. There is a lightly sweet maltiness here as well as some floral hop notes. Floral is definitely the best way to describe the hops in this beer, it has a light spiciness to it as well and finishes with a light bitterness. This beer is fairly subtle; it is almost an intro Pale Ale. The interesting thing about it is the mix of hops used, some of which are not typically found in a pale ale. This gives this beer a floral/ herbal flavor as opposed to the typical citrus character found in many American Pale Ales. The brewer say he was not happy with this beer, but in some ways I think that it is quite appropriate for the first micro-brewery in the small town of Tombstone AZ.
