Had on tap at the Local Taphouse.
Pours a golden amber colour with slow bead, clear body. Head is white, sinks to a modest crown with beautiful lacing left behind. Yeah, looks like a great pele ale.
Smell is pretty cascadey. Lots of pine resin with citrus notes - grapefruit and a touch of pineapple. An odd savoury character as well, salty almost. Lacking in fresh hop aroma, or malt sweetness. Either of those would be suitable to make this a great aroma. As it is, it's deficient in both and as a result, deficient overall.
Taste is a bit odd. I mean it's decent amd all, but there's a real sourness pervading the whole palate, in an underlying and subtle way. Starts quite malty, with caramel notes, then gets some flavour hops midway that add citric flavours onto the back with a touch of orange and a slight phenolic character as well. Malt is noticeable on the finish as well, quite sweet and earthy. Could use more bittering hop really, it's quite dry on the back so it feels like the yeast has more influence than hops. Hops seem subdued flavour-wise as well, with some attention called to them but not a lot. Just seems like a tame APA, really just a bit bland. More bittering and flavour hops and more malt is needed.
Yeah, fairly decent body but actually feels a bit heavy, for the amount of flaour there is. Could have extracted more flavour, I think, if there's this much body.
I've definitely had better pale ales, but I've also had worse. I should be grateful there's beer in front of me.
