355ml can - I wonder how this one differs from their Railgrinder Pale Ale? Maybe the Cascade and Glacier hops?

This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and gently fizzy bone-white head, which leaves some scattered archipelago lace around the glass as it slowly dissipates.

It smells of mixed tropical fruit (pineapple, guava, and kiwi), gritty and grainy cereal malt, further indistinct citrus fleshy notes, and some lesser earthy, weedy, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery pale malt, a bit of estery yeast, some muddled exotic fruitiness, fading orange and white grapefruit citrus pith, and more leafy, floral, and dried hay-like hoppiness.

The carbonation is quite active in its palate-poking frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and generally smooth, nothing really getting rowdy or anything like that here. It finishes off-dry, just, as the blended fruitiness displays some lingering chutzpah.

Overall - this is a well-made and enjoyable enough version of the style, with the selected hops providing a one-two American and antipodean fruity punch. Easy to put back, even if I may never know the pleasures of riding in the comfort of the titular vehicle.

Pullman Pale Ale is definitely pale. It's slightly hazy and a pale amber almost the color of lemon rind. The head is rocky, bone white, and shows good retention.
Up front malt aromas are light and bready in nature, smelling like fresh baked bread. The aromas are subtle and laid back, smelling like ripe tropical fruits. At first blush the nose is as bright and brassy as the beer's almost lemony color. Hints of pineapple compliment the aroma's subtle breadiness.
On the tongue, flavors of bread, yeast, and soda crackers giving support for big flavors of ripe fruit. Ripe fruit is tropical at first giving what tastes like pineapple. This moves quickly into a combination of orange juice, lemon peel, and those hard lemon candies everyone's grandma has in the house. The finish is crisp and bitter.
Easily a 7.4 out of 10. It's a decent pale ale in its own way. The only reason I don't score this beer higher is because I prefer the caramel malt, citrus and pine resin version of the American pale ale. That being said, Pullman Pale Ale is a very good example of the style. It's just not my preference.
