Pennant Pale Ale
32 North Brewing Co.

Poured into a small pint glass. Pours a medium golden amber with a fine one finger white head with great retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, citrus hops, lemon, orange, mixed tropical fruit and light stone fruit, rather fruity even for mosaic hops. Flavor of mild caramel and pale malt, citrus hops, lemon, grapefruit, mild stone fruit, distinct peach, mixed fruit; finishes with good mixed citrus and grapefruit rind, peach and citrus hops. Medium bodied with light creaminess and carbonation. A well constructed pale ale that does show off the mosaic hops nicely as promised. Good balance between stone and citrus fruit notes. Classic pale ale malt body. A hint of diacetyl is a slight flaw. Flavorful and refreshing.

 

First reviewer for this beer, hope I do this well. Poured from 12oz can into dimpled mug. No canned/freshness date.

L: Slightly hazy honey bronze. Finger width white head that slowly recedes into a thin layer.

S: Well balanced aroma, good citrus hop presence, subtle hints of peach and mango as described on the can, decent malt backbone.

T: Follows the nose closely, lots of citrusy hops, peach and mango, good malt backbone.

F: Light body and crisp, dry finish.

O: Not bad but not that good.
