Ever been to a retail store that has beer on clearance and you find a can from a place you never reviewed before, that was relatively local? That was the case with this as I grabbed one of these off of the shelf at Joe Canal's in Parsippany a few weeks back. I didn't have much to lose and since all of the ingredients were from this neck of the woods, i wanted to give it a go. Yes, this was old but it held up well although it's taste and flavor profile took me a bit of getting used to...
The pour to this was golden, cloudy, and nearly all head when I let this out of the can and emptied it into my pint glass. That had to be because of this beer's age as this was canned on 9/10/18 and somehow, didn't sell between now and then. The suds didn't take long to settle and once it did, what was left behind looked like a typical American Pale Ale. the same could be said for the lacing left behind as it bubbly, thin, and layered down most of the side of my pint glass. Lots of malt, grain, and earthy hops in the nose as there were strong hints of wheat as well with the taste following suit. Earthy, rustic, and a bit grainy, this had a very old-time crafted feel to it that reminded me of something from Yards. A bit of passion fruit and blood orange juiciness kept this light as this was easygoing on the palate for being so balanced, with the carbonation being nearly nonexistent.
The same could be said for the booze as this was as textbook a session beer as a brew could get. A nice grassy feel and rustic undertone made this interesting but there could have been a bit more brightness and character to this. As it was, this was an intriguing Pale Ale that had me wanting a fresher can, and wondering what else Lone Eagle had up it's sleeve.
