End Of The Line Pale Ale
The Funky Bow Brewery & Beer Company

 

 

 

This was poured into a pint glass. The appearance was a fairly nice hazy paled yellow to orange color with a nice glazed over look to it. There was a nice fairly decent one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute and leaving a decent glossed over light lacing. The smell had some light orange to tangerine to lemon tones over top of some nice light caramel malts to balance. The taste was mainly citrusy hoppy with a nice sweet caramel malt to balance. There was a slight citrusy to caramel aftertaste and a decent light dry finish. On the palate, this one sat fairly light and showed a decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was fairly harsh and good for the style and to me. Overall, I say this was a good APA worthy of having again.
