Named for the constant temperature of cool, clear first magnitude springs, 72 Pale Ale is a beer for the hop lover, featuring a prominent citrus and floral hop aroma paired with a bready malt note in the background. It has an enticing, light copper color and is balanced, but leans decidedly towards the hops in its flavor and aroma. This beer is medium-bodied with a semi-dry finish that leaves a pleasant herbal/spicy aftertaste. 72 is dry hopped with a trio of Cascade, Centennial, and Chinook varieties.

Ticks are hard to come by in my new lifestyle and often have to buy full six packs as is case here. Pretty light copper frothy head. Nose is pine and caramel. Tastes of light caramel, pine, crystal malt, some earth. Watery palate. Low bitterness.

Nice. I don’t like comparing beers to other beers, but having had this, by coincidence, side by side with SNPA, I have to remark on a great deal of similarity between the two. The main difference is that because this was local, it felt fresher (ymmv of course) and had a slightly more prominent hop nose and flavor, sharper hops too, a little piney on top of the citrus. Slightly more bitter. Commenting on its own merit: its a nice pale ale. Nice hop presence that doesn’t overstate it, keeping in the pale ale realm and not IPA. Bready clean malts. Balanced. Very drinkable.

Shared at a tasting. Hazy copper, thin head. Aroma of dank, citrus, tropical hops, crackery and grainy malt. The taste is tropical fruits, mango, pale malt, lime zest. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness.
