Pale Tail
Freetail Brewing Company

This pours a tan cardboard color. Pine and pith, with a pronounced bitterness and a dry finish. I thought it a nice, easy drinking, and accessible brew. Yes to this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to miikezombie for sending me this one.
The beer pours a murky orange with some golden hue, it builds a decent white head that fades very quickly to a very faint ring but does leave some lace. The malt is definitely present in the nose with some slight burnt sugar as well as some citrus. The taste is dominated by the citrus hops with a slight bitterness and some earthy characters. Pretty low carbonation and a somewhat thin creamy mouthfeel. Definitely a solid Pale Ale. Thanks Glen.

Thanks to brystmar for sharing this one at the post Bruery Reserve Society party bottle share!

Pours a murky honey orange with a tan head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Foamy rings of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt/grain, slight fruity aromas. and some herbal hops. Taste is the same with a mild bitterness with each sip. This beer has a light level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good pale ale but nothing too amazing.

 

 

 

 

Poured into a pint glass.

Appearance: Yellow-orange with a white head that fades into a thin lacing on the top of the beer and clings to the side of the glass.

Aroma: Hints of citrus with subtle notes of pine in the back ground with a strong malt backing.

Taste: Malty toffee like backbone helps cut through the citrus hop notes. The hops provide grapefruit and lemon notes.

Mouthfeel: Medium carbonation and medium body with a clean finish that is refreshing and easy to drink.

Overall: A good beer for a drinking session. I wouldn’t say it’s a session ale due to the ABV but it could be construed as one because it’s drinkability.

Growler shared by the other Matt, thanks Matt!!

Beer is copper and mostly clear with a decent head of small and medium off white bubbles with moderate carbonation, some retention, some lacing, looks like beer.

The aroma is mostly a minor malt backbone with some nice piny hops. Smells good, nice APA.

Beer is medium to light in body. Nice malt present, some crystal in the forward, some pine hop flavors with mild to moderate bitterness that fnishes nicely. I drank a lot of it, I'd even have ti again someday.

Big thanks to Curtis for sending me this growler! Shared with the other Matt last week.

The beer is a copper / orange / amber hue, depending on where the light hits the glass. The liquid is very hazy, with nearly an inch of off white head that exhibits lasting retention.

The aroma is a blend of hops and malt, with light citrus.

The flavor is well balanced and enjoyable. This is a nice pale ale, and fresh tasting.

The body is light, but not thin, per se. The aftertaste leaves a lasting hop bitterness (positive) on the palate.

Overall, a nice, light beer. A good choice for warm weather. I would have this again.

A: Pours a hazy reddish color. A one finger white head forms and leaves some lace.
S: Soapy, piny hops. Lightly sweet caramel malt for a little balance.
T: Caramel sweet, light grain. Soapy hops that follow the nose.
M/D: A medium body and carbonation. Creamy and smooth. An easy beer to quaff.

Another solid offering. Easy to drink. This is pretty good.

Thanks to thirdeye11 for sharing this growler.

Pours a clear yellowish brown with a white head. The aroma is malt and light hops. The flavor is more of the light malt with grassy and citrus hops along with some caramel and biscuit malt. Thin mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
