Local Color Corporate Jim Pale Ale
Liquid Manufacturing (Arlington Brewing Co.)

 

 

 

Pours cloudy orange, looks alot more like a wheat beer than a pale ale. A tad bit of white foam.
Smells yeasty, with a backdrop of fruity malt like scent. Maybe some more aroma hops would be in order.
Nothing bad in the taste, just kind of blah. Sweet, fruity maltiness and a slightly bitter aftertaste.
Well carbonated, but a little to sticky.
Not a bad beer, necessarily, just nothing special, kind of a disappointment.

Pale cloudy yellow topped with a nice foamy - however hastily dissipating - head. Smell is subtle but delightful: malt and floral. Very pleasant happy medium - not boring but 'the golden mean' - between uber-hop and emasculated pale ale extremes. Starts off with a grapefruit and hop bite which is rounded down into blank creamy malt - akin to what white chocolate is to dark chocolate - and finally, a subdued bitter edge. Easy drinking and not your high maintenance Bell's Two Hearted or New Holland Mad Hatter hop-bombs.

Had this a few months ago while at home a friend of mine gotta six pack of this at a local specialty beer store in Saginaw,pours a medium golden color with a decent head,aroma was mildly zesty and hoppy but not to overpowering.Taste i lightly malty in the beginning with a subtle hop flavor that lingers thru the finish,a pretty subtle beer that wont knock your socks off but its pretty drinkable.

A very easy to drink Pale. I've had this in the bottle and on tap and its much better although not great on tap. Crisp with a decent, but not overpowering hop bite. A step above the Tomboy Red but below the Stout offering from this brewery.
