A pale ale brewing using a proportion of wheat malt; from a growler filled on 13-Jun-10.
A: The pale ale is the coppery amber color of a good pale ale. A hazed-over appearance is the result of the ale just coming out of the fridge. A finger of white finger rested atop the ale, threatening to overflow. As it receded, sparse lacing ensued.
S: The nose is bready, a biscuity aroma that won't quit. Underneath, a citrusy hoppiness lingers, alongside a brief whiff of wheat. The lightness of the aroma, it's lack of plundering maltiness, is a positive attribute of the wheat.
T: An interesting point-counterpoint is going on between the wheat and the barley. The barley, as expected, is biscuity with a bit of caramel sweetness. Wheat isn't as strong but it adds a citric flavor that goes nicely with the biscuit, even managing to peak through near the finish. Light citrusy hops loiter around, bittering a tad, but not enough to get excited about.
M: The mouthfeel and its hybrid nature is smooth, enough wheat flavors to keep me intrigued. An easy drinking pale ale.
D: I'll probably make it through the growler over two day, a decent pale ale that could use a little more in the way of either hops or wheat.
