CoastGuardVet (6205) reviewed Pale Ale from Block Brewing Company 8 years ago
Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5
Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a semi-golden to orange sort of color with a thin white colored foamy film of a head. Mild lace.
The aroma had some citrus bitter rind and piney bitterness bold and up front. Sturdy malt backbone.
The flavor was mostly bitter through the citrus and piney components. Aftertaste is bitter with the pine and citrus rind. Finish seemed to bite a bit more than expected for an APA.
The feel sat between light and medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Sturdy carbonation and the ABV sat right.
Overall, a bit more abrasive in the hops department than I thought for an APA but I could still see myself coming back to if I could get it again.

The appearance was a fairly dark orange color with a thin white head. Quick dissipation, sly messy lace.
The aroma had a blend of caramel/toffee malt up front and then some orange, candied fruit and then some light pine.
The flavor was basically the same through a ruggedly sweet sort of quality running over my tastebuds. Light in the aftertaste. Malty sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Decent carbonation. ABV felt as projected.
Overall, decent as a DIPA, somewhat of the old school nature. Maybe again if offered.
