Like a good soldier, the Ground Pounder Pale Ale is first and foremost loyal to its country: An American Pale Ale through and through.

Our Pale Ale presents a good balance of malt and hops for a clean and pleasing drinking experience. Here you’ll find a mix of fruity, hoppy and malty aromas but with the bitterness tempered to accentuate the malt sweetness and character.

Draft at the brewery. Pours clear golden color with white head. Aromas of malt and dough with some fruitiness. Slightly bitter flavor with caramel, dough, and pine. Medium body with average carbonation.

All-around substandard pale ale, offering an unsatisfactory blend of semisweet English-style bready malts and un-American underhopping. Murky and soulless, with a modest tartness wholly unneeded in an APA. Finish hits with the slightest touch of hops, but its too little too late. Pass.

This is a good example of a real U.S. prime american beer, it presents itself as a mellow somewhat shy ale but once you tread on it, it goes nut-nits on you. In this case it goes from the decoy of just another pale lager for the military to a monster smash in the face IPA. As soon as you hit it, it goes full mouth puckering double imperial IPA. Surprisingly orange in its presentation. Also, intersting hoppy perfume of mild candified hops. Tho the aroma is not full blown IPA, the taste is, and probably so is the the glass coating vicious viscosity of it all. It’s terribly on the the mah fah palate for freakin typically rude IPA, kicking your mouth’s ass all over the place, heheh. Big giant rude nasty, ruin my palate for a month, freaking BS mouth coating ale. Whew! I’m hoping this is how the U.S. military behaves once agitated. If you like IPA, you better check this astringent bastard out. It’s a rototiller! ...or is that PLOW!? This was a BIG surprise fer sure. Ho yeah, and by the way, this has to be more than 5-6% No way is it 4.6, that’ll fool yah.

Can at Collins Quarter in Savannah. Hazy orange color with a small head and medium to light lace. Nice pine hop aroma with some sweet/caramel malt notes. Similar flavor. Tasty, drinkable, slightly dry finishing.

12 oz. can, about 3.5 months since the canning date (3452014). Pours bubbly gold, with a medium, off-white head and lots of lacing. Nose is earthy and resinous hops, some honey, and a metallic twang. Sweet, with a mild bitterness. Light body, astringent, and crisp. Overall, this is a fair pale ale, that’s probably better a little fresher.
