Plenty of British Crystal malt in the grist lends this ale its rich color, its caramel maltiness, and adds the occasional whiff of toffee to the nose. An addition of American and German hops to the kettle at the end of the boil is used to suffuse our Pale Ale with a gently spicy hop finish.

Tap at beerfest Vienna. Orange golden color with small white head. Nice hoppy aroma with oranges, tangerines. Refreshing hoppy taste with oranges, tangerines, zest, pines. Solid malty backbone. Medium long hoppy bitter finish. Good.

(bottle, 35.5cl) Clear, pale golden colour with a blond and short foamy head. Slightly dusty, citrus-fruity hoppy aroma with a mildly pale malty background. Mildly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a crisp, if not a bit sharp carbonation. Plain pale malty base with hints of white bread and present drying citric hops; moderately hop bitter, dry and citric finish. Does not necessarily deserve its voyage across the Atlantic; there are already better brews of the style made in Europe. 16.XI.15

355ml bottle. Clear golden colour with small, thick, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Rather cautious, citrusy hoppy aroma, hints of lemon, pale malty background. Taste is minimally strawy, pale malty, minimally citrusy, a touch of lemon. Light, almost a bit watery, quite boring overall.

On June 21, 2015. At Steamworks Brewpub, in Vancouver, British Columbia.Only on as "Pale Ale", but guessing this is where to put it.Hazy golden color, white head. Hoppy, green, floral, sweet taste. Medium to fizzy mouthfeel, low bitterness. Hoppy, fruity scent.

Can bought @ Berlin Braufest 2015. Orangée, col blanc. Arôme est légèrement citronné, agrumes, note de citronnelle avec un rappel de Cascade et des 3C. Palais est léger sur le houblon, malt pâle et pils avec un fini ponctué de belles notes fruitées. Caramel perce en fin de bouche et une petite note pâle. L’amertume est présente et contrebalance le profil plus malté. Simple et agréable, mais manque un peu de punch au niveau des houblons.

500 ml can as "Steamworks Pale Ale" bought at Craft Bier Fest Wien Tasting Sessions.
Clear, golden body, with a medium, frothy, lacing, off-white head.
Quite light aroma of grapefruit, flowers, candy, some peach, some pine, some soap.
Taste follows this, also quite light, watery, with a bit more biscuit malts.
Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with a soft carbonation.
Finishes soft, medium bitter, zesty, piney, a bit sweet malty.
Quite boring. Much too light, watery. The hops are propably just noticeable, because the malt body is also pretty light. Not sure if the can is too old, or the beer itself is just brewed that thin.

On tap at Steamworks, pours a very pale clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is basically nonexistent - not getting anything here - maybe a bit of dry cereal. Flavour is very bland and lifeless. Not a very robust flavour profile here, with just a bit of cereal malt. Pretty shitty pale ale.
