I had this beer in the taproom in a pint glass the beers are poured quite cold at this brewery
Look: nice color, slightly cloudy
Smell: pleasant malty smell, not sweet like many beers
Taste: the first few tastes are very bitter but the tongue quickly adjusts, really nice after taste
Feel: nicely carbonated, kind of bouncy for an ale
Overall: a very nice Pale Ale

This seemed like a standard pale ale, not much to rave about.
First, it was served too cold in a chilled American pint glass. I let it warm up for a couple of minutes.
To me there was not much to the aroma even after it warmed a bit.
It had a mellow hops, a little on the dry side. There was a citrus flavor that I could not pin-point. There was a grain/cereal maltiness in the background.
Overall it was good, but not the best pale ale I have had. I would probably give this beer another chance.
*I also tried the stout, and like the stout, this beer had a watery fell and taste.

Poured from the tap this one is a very clear Golden-copper in color, topped with an off-white head that fades gradually, leaving the thinnest of filmy heads.
Huge rush of Cascades on the nose. Malt profile seems a little thin, but there's a biscuit-y malt presence and a fair amount of yeast.
Zesty and sprightly on the first sip, the flavor imparts a blend of golden apple and lighter citrus. Very aromatic, but with a very low, lingering hop bitterness relative to either APA or American IPA*.
Lighter-bodied and highly drinkable, Padre Island Pale Ale opened up remarkably as it warmed, having been served ice-cold in a Libbey pint from the outset. This is a tasty and well-executed brew that I look forward to having the pleasure of drinking again!
* Note: The menu states that this beer is "An American version of an I.P.A.", and indeed I found it closer to a British IPA in character than either an American IPA or an APA, but for most contemporary drinkers and Beer Advocates APA works just fine as a style classification.
