12oz bottle. Filtered tan-orange color. Nice foamy head, lots of lively carbonation bubbles. Sweet hoppy aroma, with a touch of macro factory freshness. The hop flavor is rather intense, a pleasant surprise. Thick and resinous, definitely walking the line between an APA and IPA. Earthy and rich. Solid bitterness. Underrated.

Pour is a orange with a small white head. Aroma is hard to detect and I deffinatly get no hops just a really sweet malt. Flavor is also on the sweet side but again nothing stands out. Not good and the pils i had from this brewer made me think that this could be a hidden gem. Not so much.

Bottle. Pours orange - copper. Aroma is malt and hop, though neither is over-powering. Taste is good solid Pale Ale. Nice malty body with hop finish.

Pale ale? Not quite. Much darker than their maifest doppelbock. A little bitter. Actually a lighter dark beer. My label was different than what’s pictured. The word ’german’ wasn’t on it and the letters were green. Also, I was very happy with my variety case from Schell; pale ale, octoberfest, pilsner, caramel boch, firebrick, maifest, doppelbock, zommerfest, etc. Wow what a variety…..loved it. Schell has some of the best looking labels, too! If i’m to give a pale yellow beer a rating above 2, it’s good!

Bottled. When I toured the brewery a few years ago, the director told us they wanted to call it "German Pale Ale," but the BATF wouldn’t let them put a non-existent style on the label. So the label has "Garman Style" Pale Ale. And what does Schell make that isn’t German style? Pours a lighter coppery brown, thin head. Smell is indeed a bit more English than German. Interesting blend of English and German tatstes, as promised. Lighter in hop load than a "normal" APA would be, but a well-executed hybrid style.

This beer seems to be suitable for cellaring. After almost a year, it has picked up powerful fruit aromas and flavors, with sufficient, but not overly bitter hops. This should be an apa, or ipa, in my opinion.
