Suarez Family Brewery

 

 

 

 

Poured from a growler into a pint glass.

Pours a cloudy orange color with a finger of effervescent white head. The head dissipates quickly, leaving a ring of lacing around the top of the glass.

The aroma brings notes of mango and pineapple, with a touch of peppery spice and a doughy malt backbone.

The flavor follows the nose exactly. Pineapple and mango, with some subtle spice and plenty of malt.

The feel is light bodied with good carbonation. Crisp and refreshing.

Overall, a pretty good pale ale. It's straightforward for the style, but is decently balanced and flavorful. Has a crisp, lager-like quality that is refreshing and highly drinkable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured from a fresh growler into the test glass, served at 48 degrees.
A - Opaque straw color, gently carbonated, a white kit cap resides on top
S - Some semi sweet malt, a bit of pepper spice, then come the fruity hops. Papaya, and Pineapple.
T - Nice malt flavor, steers away from straight sweet, rustic, and full flavor, in that area, I can see why the love of Vienna lately, a more complex base, a bit of spice and less sweet. The hops add the sweet in the form of orange candy and dried pineapple slices.
M - Medium in body, nice heft to it, the palate is quick to respond to the sweet, then a quick shift to some distant dryness, and a final push back toward center, the water and body are so soft and delicate.
O -Exceptional body, the texture is delightful, flavors are as noted, but the execution is the real showstopper. Yes a Pale Ale that is worth the exploration. Wonderful flavors, blend seamlessly, a treat to be enjoyed.
