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.

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.

Reviewed from notes. Rcvd in trade.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice golden yellow to slight orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. There was some light foamy lacing stringing itself down the sides of the glass.
The smell had a nice pine to citrus to grapefruit hop conglomeration of sorts with a delicate malt base.
The taste took those nice hop aromas and malt base and blended very nicely.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to slight medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionable aspect about it.
Overall, this was a pretty good APA worthy of having again.

Can - Lemon and a bit of skunky hops. Cloudy gold with a thin white head. Fresh leafy hops and a light bitterness. Nice.

Can from Malt & Vine. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Lots of citrus and fruit hop for aroma. Med body. Flavor is bitter, citrus/floral/fruit over a not too roasty malt. At 4.5 ABV I assume this is aimed at "sessionable", but based on the huge amount of flavor, one wouldn’t expect that. It’s very nice.

Poured from a can. Aroma has a light, sweet, cracker and grain character but otherwise it is all hops. Lots of grapefruit, orange and tangerine with lighter notes of lemon, tropical fruit and stone fruit. Medium resin and dank pine notes help balance all the fruit and citrus. Light grass note. Pours a slightly hazy, pale, golden-orange with a medium sized, moderately thick, white head that displays average retention while it recedes to the edges. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor starts with a light, sweet grain character with some faint bread and moderate cracker notes. Moderately strong hop character with a lot of orange, tangerine and mandarin. Lighter grapefruit, tropical fruit and pine resin. Medium to medium light bitterness. Nice drying finish with some lingering citrus and pine resin. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall a pretty enjoyable, hop-forward pale ale. Really nice citrus hop character with just the right amount of sweet, cracker malt notes in the background.

Can. I can drink this all day. A lot of pine and hops on the aroma. Citrus taste of grapefruit, orange, and lemon. Has a hoppy, slightly bitter finish. Very easy to drink. Very refreshing. Love this beer.

12 oz can from work. Pours hazy golden with a medium off-white head with good retention; leaves some wicked constellation-like lace. Aroma is piney hops backed by some faint bready malt; as it warms a little, some caramel comes out. Taste is beautiful hoppy goodness; mostly bitter but some sweetness is there, too. Has pine and citrus flavors. Highly carbonated with a medium body; as good of a palate as you’d want in this style. Awesome pale ale. What a great idea to situate a brewery this close to the area where the best hops in the world are produced. Both beers I’ve had from this brewery are some of the freshest, hoppiest beers I’ve ever had. Kudos!
