Anything but a typical American Pale, Santa Fe Pale Ale is as full bodied as its most robust English counterparts, while asserting its American origin with a healthy nose resplendent with Cascade and Willamette hops. It finishes with a well-balanced combination of the subtle, almost Pilsner-like maltiness accentuated by…

12oz bottle. Murky orange-brown. Thin, lacy head. Mild, mellow aroma. A pretty solid APA, medium bodied and very sessionable. The lack of filtration really works with this one, as the yeast gives it smooth mouthfeel. Subdued and balanced, everything about this beer is mild. Pretty decent stuff.

This beer came in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright orange-caramel color with a large yellow-white head. The aroma was dryish fruity hops and notes of caramel and nut. The flavor was dry, sour and tangy with noted nutty maltiness and moderate fruity hops that were a touch rough. The finish was long, tangy and fruity with a touch of caramel. Medium body.

Bottle from ericandersnavy. King of the SW traders. Thanks much. Pours a hazy peach color with a decent off-white head. Strange citrus hop mixed with grassy hop for aroma. Medium body with near creamy carbonation. Flavor: I’m getting some vanilla. I’m getting some light stone fruit. So where’s the malt? Eventually it shows up in a lightly roasted fashion. Turns a bit bready. This one is a standout. Finishes more bready. A pale ale with pils aspects? Now I read the descrip. This brewer is inventive.

12 oz bottle from Sparky27. Pour is hazed golden yellow with swirling cascading building up. Two inch white head. Head is lasting, eventually falls with nice lacing. Aroma of citrus bitterness, a bit sour, some earthy maltiness behind that. Sort of a flinty gypsum odor way in the back. Taste is dirty bitter slightly sour citrus with dirty toasted maltiness behind that. The same flinty character is in the taste, and is quite pronounced - dominating mid palate through to a long finish. Decent carbonation on the body. Overall, this one lingered a bit too long and a bit too dirty. Thanks for sending it my way, Eric.

12 ounce bottle courtesy of Sparky27. Thanks! Pours a copper color with a medium head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma is very grainy, almost corny with some moderate leafy hops. Taste is grain, caramel, citrus hops. Slightly bitter in the ending. Medium bodied.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy copper with a small off white head. The aroma is a sweet malt with fruit and peanuts. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a light malt with a bitter hop finish. Easy to drink, a decent american pale ale from Sante Fe.

Bottled. A murky golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of straw and grapefruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of dusty hops and fruits, leaning on being over ripe. The body is thin. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Pours with a small white head that fades. Very hazy orange body. Aroma is pretty decent with a bit of an exotic fruit note to the hops, and some caramel behind it. Taste is caramel, a bit metallic with some hops, not well balanced. Fizzy and thin mouthfeel.
