Wakeup Call Pale Ale
Peekskill Brewery

Pours a slightly hazy honey color with an incredibly well retained one inch fluffy white head that left blotches of fluffy lacing. Effervescent bubbly present throughout drinking. Smells of coffee, sweet malts and very light citrus. Tastes predominately of light roast coffee, followed by a slightly sweet malt presence and just a hint of citrus on the finish. Light to medium bodied, highly carbonated, slightly bitter finish, creamy mouth feel. Really more of a coffee ale than pale ale.

 

 

A: The beer is hazy yellowish amber in color—too hazy to see if there is any visible carbonation. It poured with a finger high off white head that died down, leaving a layer of bubbles covering the surface and a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of coffee beans are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell, having moderately strong flavors of cold brew coffee along with fruity hints from the hops. There is a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer tastes much more like a coffee ale than a pale ale as the smell and taste are all about the coffee. It's a nice beer if you are a coffee fan.

Serving type: can

Poured a vibrant orange-golden color with a very thin layer of head on top. The beer is not very translucent. The aroma is coffee all day. It smells great. Doesn't have many of the burnt, roasted qualities that a dark coffee beer usually exhibits, rather is smells of the essence of coffee. The taste follows suit with the nose. Such a great sweet, creamy, coffee flavor. Almost tastes like I'm drinking a bitter iced coffee. The mouth is just right as well. It is nice a creamy with a medium body. Overall, I am quite impressed. I have had some coffee IPAs and Pale Ales before and this ranks up there with the best.

Pours a lightly hazy golden orange in color with a finger of white head. Aroma has a touch of lightly sweet pale malt, a touch of citrus, and a moderate dose of coffee. Tatse is heavy on the coffee upfront but adds some cocoa and citrus notes and a coffee derived bitterness in the finish. Medium-light body and carbonation that is at times prickly but generally comes across as moderate. Overall a pretty solid beer even though the coffee rolls over the underlying pale ale.
