Juicy Pale Ale
Postmark Brewing

 

Appearance - Pours a hazy peachy gold with three fingers of foamy, rocky white head.

Smell - Tropical and citrus fruits (mango, pineapple, orange, guava), citrus and leafy hops, bready malts, earthy yeast.

Taste - Tropical/citrus fruits (as noted above) and the bitterness of hops upfront, followed by the bready malts into the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Somewhat sticky finish on the palate.

Overall - I picked up this six-pack on a whim and I'm very impressed by the quality of tropical and citrus fruit flavour (there's no lie in the name when it's called "juicy pale ale"). Very refreshing and I could see this becoming a summertime fave.

355ml can - 'Sunny | Tropical | Hazy'. Not to mention 'juicy'.

This beer pours a hazy, pale golden straw colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some honeycomb pattern lace around the glass as it slowly seeps out of sight.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, muddled domestic citrus peel, a stoney flintiness, and some leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready pale malt, underripe pineapple, overripe lemon, a damp minerality, and more earthy, floral, and piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is average in its palate-baiting frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and rather smooth, with a minor airy creaminess arriving as soon as things warm up by this particular point in the game. It finishes trending dry, the forest floor detritus character exhibiting the most lingering gusto.

Overall - this comes across as a flavourful enough little pale ale, nice and crisp and easy to throw back. It sure is warm and sunny (but not hazy) here today, as I listen to the melt-water rush down the streets outside.
