Weekend Essentials Pale Ale

Bottle shared with CPS at the cabin, NH. Pours clear gold, highly effervescent, with a fast-fading white foam head. Very faint toasted pale malt nose, some fruits, apple. Medium sweet flavor, sugary, with light caramel and honey, some fruity notes (like apples), subtle toasted dough. Light bodied with crisp, zippy carbonation, and a fairly syrupy mouthfeel. Sugary finish with bready malts, very faint piney bitterness, toasty straw. The beer is too sweet and the carbonation is too enthusiastic. Needs a bit of work.

22 oz. bottle from Ryan and Casey Liquors, Greenfield, MA. Pale yellow color with very light carbonation. Quickly departing head that vanished to nothing. Nose is pale malt and honey notes. Taste is grainy with the same pale malt and honey that shows in the nose. Light body with a grainy texture. Real easy to drink.

22oz bottle-pours a foamy offwhite head with yellow/gold color. Aroma is soft lemon, light malt-bready/caramel. Taste is lemon/spice hops, light malt-bready/caramel. Maybe I should adjust to 1.0 to offset IPAdad and earthtones.

Bottle thanks to Jcwattsrugger. Pours pale gold with white head. Nose/taste of caramel malt. muted citrus and oily hops. Light to medium body.

Bomber from cakanator. Merry Xmas! Pours orange brassy gold with a decent foamy white head that was transient. Aromas of caramel and something citrusy. Flavors are not strong - meaning not harsh. But they are very good. Finishes moderately bitter. Somewhat oily mouthfeel.
