Description
Pelican Brewing Company was born at the beach in Pacific City in 1996. Here, in front of a rundown old building at the water’s edge, stood three enthusiastic young folks whose thirst for great beer overshadowed their understanding of what it would take to build a brewery. They did it anyway. And now twenty years later, older, and wiser, Pelican Brewing Company is a craft beer industry leader with fans throughout the Northwest and around the world. Today we’ve taken our breweries and our values to other Oregon coastal towns where we wake up each day in a place that reminds us that amazing is possible. Cheers fellow fanatics. This is as good as it gets.

Enjoyed on tap at Pelican, Tillamook. Pint. Clean and clear golden pour. Listed at 9% even. Thin oily head. A solid imperial here. Agressive west coast imperial, but not too harsh considering the tick under double digit abv tag. Soft citrus hop tones, balanced well with a semi rich caramel malt. An easy drinking imperial overall. Interesting that a beer like this one has become unique. Enjoyed this a ton.

Bottled @ tasting with Caesar and Jerohen. Opaque pitch black color, medium sized off-white head. Aroma and taste are malts, dark malts, some coffee, heavy whiskey, raisins, roasted malts, dark malts. Hmm in the end though something annoys me. Some malty bitter alcoholic touch in there. Solid though.

Can slightly hazy dull light orange. Thin wispy white head. Light pale malts and a musty grassy hop aroma. Better flavors though, juicy mellow hops witha littel tropical and melon character. Modest bitterness. Nice finish

Bottle from Made in Oregon PDX. Pours birght gold with a creamy/foamy white head. Tangerine in the aroma. Med body or so. Flavor is strong for a pils: tangerine; spice; mildly floral. Barely detectable breadiness. Fairly dry; nicely bitter. Very pleasing flavor.

12 oz can from a case bought at work. Aroma is SweeTarts, cantaloupe, citrus rind, mildly dank, mild tropical fruit notes. Pours hazy golden with a bone-white head that collapses into a ring somewhat quickly. Taste is lightly bitter, lightly sweet, moderately juicy, somewhat grainy. Alcohol noticeable. Perfectly carbonated creamy mouthfeel. Kind of tame with less character compared to most NEIPA-ish brews out there, but it tastes good and is well made.

Tap at OBF 2018. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma has a lot of peach. Med body. Flavor has a lot of peach, but not like ripe freestone, more like a slightly unripe peach. Decent tho. Sort of tasty. Dryish. Lightly bitter.

Draught. Red pour with white head. Malty definitely describes this beer with a caramel and toffee aroma with a full bodied malty, caramel and biscuit flavour. Smooth finish.
