North High Pale Ale

This is a beer I will always remember. Last year there was a manufacturing defect in the cans and they began exploding when the temps reached 90F. I was compensated for them, so let's do this.

Pours a little dark and cloudy. Very nice lacing to it. Hops on the nose (it's dry hopped) but curiously absent from the palate. There's a hint of citrus.

I appreciate a dry-hopped ale every now and again. There's always this battle between the malts and the hops and I feel like the malts are the underdog. Or at least not working in tandem with the hops.

That said, the malt shines in this brew, you get a nice malty note followed by grapefruit and (dry) hops. Low IBU and good flavor.

I think this beer is excellent. This balance is a rarity and if you're on the fence, grab it 100%.

This beer reallly close to the IPA. Same golden Color and small white head. The taste of the beer was very similar to the IPA but not as hoppy as the IPA

 

 

Orange color, tall white collar at pour that sticks around with lacing. Strong hop aroma (grapefruit) but slightly less strong in the taste. Not my favorite.

 

 

 

I had high hopes for this beer. Straw yellow with a very full me head with wide lacing throughout the glass foam dissipates after about 5 minutes. My first impression is Pine not pale and it's so overwhelming that it takes away from any other qualities it's intended to have. Not one that I will ever have again unfortunately

 

 

 

 

Picked up a can in Columbus Ohio. Pours a yellowish color with a thin white head. Nice lacing on the glass and the smell is fruit and pine. Taste is not quite as good. A little metallic and bitter and not the fruit and hop flavor the smell promises. This beer is OK, but not one that I would seek out again.

Hazy gold with a large white head that settles to a blanket with tons of cobweb lace.

Smell is wheat bread, earthy broccoli, and metallic pine, with a hint of orange.

Taste is tart grapefruit, a little apple cider vinegar, metallic pine again, with a little bread dough.

Thin, tangy, slightly bitter and wet.
