On tap at the brewpub into shaker pint.

Delivered with a very thin film, no lacing. Very hazy, making it difficult to pick up the true color: looks deep amber.

Nothing. I had to put my nose into the beer and actually dipped my nose into the beer a few times in order to pick anything up. Upon very close inspection, carboard and metallic, probably copper. Nothing resembling a pale ale.

No hop character, no malt character. Carboard at the beginning with a metallic aftertaste.

High carbonation, not much body.

Very undrinkable. The off-flavors of this beer just completely overpower anything positive.

I apologize for the poorly written review, there just isn't much positive in this beer to discuss. I hope they improve their pale because I enjoy their oatmeal stout and would like to go back.

On tap at he brewpub. Good sized sample, but pretty poor. Extremely Pale colour, a seriously weak cousin of the amber. Some lace. No aroma. ABove average carbonation. Not finishable. a tad of hops.Below average mouthfeel. Poor pale, and in need of a more serious attempt.

The beer pours a nice gold color with a thick frothy white head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is decent. It has a typical pale ale scent, light hops, pale and crystal malts. It's lighter on the hops than I'd prefer. The taste is below average. It has a pale and crystal malt flavor along with a mild hop contribution. It goes down slow and finishes with some off flavors. There is something wrong here, maybe some kind of contamination. The mouthfeel is average. It is a medium bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is not a good pale ale. The off flavors ruin the beer.

Poured a lighter copper with almost no head at all to speak of,no hops to speak of in the nose of this ale all butter and caramel malt seemed almost stingingly sweet.Harsh mouthfeel cringed at first sips the overall sweetness and buttery notes were almost to much to deal with faint hops in the way of minty herbalness appeared near the finish of the pint.I drank it down as fast as possible to get through it,very bad.

Poured a flat looking amber with a skimpy head.

Aromas were all over caramel and malt.

Fisr swigs: Caramel and some hops. Vanilla ice cream and caramel malt flavored pale that was at best a Blow-Pop lolipop bubble gum brew that struck out.

Forgetable and regretable.



This pale ale was the biggest dissapoint of the five house beers.
