Don’t be fooled by the powerful hop aroma of Field 41 Pale Ale. Heavily dry-hopped with Simcoe®, Loral®, and Ahtanum®, this perfectly sessionable Pale Ale drinks easy with a smooth bitterness and is named for the hop field that is home to Bale Breaker Brewing Company. Light and refreshing, it’s the perfect beer for a day on the river or afternoon on the slopes.

Can courtesy of Prufrockstar, thanks! Hazy golden color, fluffy white head, delicate lacing. Wow, aroma is like a fresh meadow breeze, flowers, haystacks. Taste has earthy lemon, light scallions, freshly cut hay. Delicious.

12oz can poured into keg shaped glass. Slightly hazy dark golden color, light honey color. Dated August 12 and consumed August 29, pretty damn fresh. Big head fades into surface covering lacing and lots of soapy bubbles on the side of the glass. Aroma has moderate hop bitterness and hoppy herbal, cedar, and light lemon with some fresh peeled grapefruit skin. A very nice hoppy aroma but the beer really shines in the flavor. Despite bitter smell the flavor is remarkably smooth and low on bitterness. The hops turn into hop juice with a light grapefruit and light malt biscuit. The hops are very lean with light bitterness at the end of the aftertaste. I have had this before and it’s super enjoyable every time, the best hop centric beer in Washington. At the abv it’s amazing in so many ways.

A medium haze on this bright copper ale. It has a white foamy head. Aroma is citrus and a bit of a malt profile. Flavor is mostly citrus but balanced out with a fair bit of biscuit malt. A bit thin in profile. Honestly not a whole bunch of flavor going on here. It’s a decent beer but nothing special.

Can at the 7th Tasting in Belgrade-Serbia, a very rare and fresh gift from luttonm to whom goes our perpetual gratitude. Pours pale golden semi-filtered appearance, white medium head. Nose: fresh grassy feel, some floral notes, mild aroma. Mouth: extremely easy drinking, fantastic and balanced bitterness, grassy essence but mild. A gem!

Can at Endo’s, thanks to Mini and Bird, 11/11/14. Very lightly hazed golden with a decent white covering that retains well. Nose is pine, pissy tinge, sticky hops, citric rind, skunked essence, orange pith, straw. Taste comprises skunky hop, pine, orange pith, dank notes, tangerine, mandarin. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a skunky hop wash. Solid dank hop bastard - could fill my fridge with this bugger.

Can - thanks to Chris for the extra! Pours cloudy orange, small off-white head that eventually dissipates with nice lacing. Aroma is really really nice - citrus and tropical, dank and sweaty. Flavor almost cannot live up to that, but it is pretty damn good, light sweet, drying out in the main body, fruity, juicy, tropical goodness. Body is a bit light, which should not surprise, but this is an awesome session IPA. Kind of like a lower ABV Pseudo Sue, and that is saying something. Yum.

Can. Dry and grassy. Herbal, hop forward pale ale. Light malt. One of the better pale ales I have had in a long time.

Can from DeLaurenti, Seattle
Hazy golden color. It has a lean and nice malt profile, with a toffee accent; the hopping is pleasant and moderately citrusy. Dry.
Good example of the style, highly drinkable.
