American Pale Ale

Pine, grapefruit peel, orange, and biscuit malt aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with moderate white head. Mildly sweet orange, grapefruit, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter grapefruit peel flavor. Okay body.

Refrigerated 12 oz can from shrubber85 poured into a glass. Hazy deep golden with small white head. Aroma is light herbal hops, medium body, medium carbonation, and some lacing. Taste is herbal hops.

From can to pint glass. Aroma is slight orange zest, cereal grain and faint lemon in the back. Moderate grass as it warmed. Pours slightly hazy, copper with orange highlights. Off-white head dissipates quickly to leave a ring and slight dusting across the top. Flavor starts as thin orange and quickly fades to all grain. Mouthfeel is thin and leads to a disjointed finish that is bitter and grainy. As it warmed, the orange disappeared and it became an underattenuated malt bomb with aspects of cardboard.

Pour is a clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is a decent enough pine hop pale ale. Flavor is a very light almost watery pine hop with a bitter punch at the end. For a low abv pale ale it's ok.

25/6/2018. Can at my hotel in Vegas and huge thanks to beer_rookie for sending me this beer from Arkansas to give me region #118 and turn the last piece of my USA map blue. Poured virtually clear with an average sized white head. Aroma of hops, grass, citrus, pine, grapefruit, caramel and rye. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Moderate body, quite sticky texture, average to soft carbonation. Grew on me, easy drinking, quite decent.

Copper orange. Sweet malt profile with good floral and pine notes. Medium bodied. Nice bitterness without being too heavy. Good APA.

Got in a BIF from jdell15. 12 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, passion fruit, papaya, guava, lemon/orange zest, light pepper/pine, cracker, rye bread, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate rye/bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, passion fruit, papaya, guava, lemon/orange zest, light pepper/pine, cracker, rye bread, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/citrus peel/grassy bitterness and rye spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, passion fruit, papaya, guava, lemon/orange zest, light pepper/pine, cracker, rye bread, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate rye/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, and bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Fairly clean finishing. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.3%. Overall this is a delicious session American pale ale! All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate rye/bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Nicely vibrant and lightly dank hops; with great malt balance/body for the low ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

Draft at the source. Pale gold, white head. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, pine. Taste is citrus, mango, tropical fruit, grains.
