Commercial Description:
ACME CALIFORNIA PALE ALE is a smooth, clean ale with faint citrus and honey flavor notes and a dry finish. It is brewed with Yakima Valley hops and the finest American two-row malt, but with a measure of British specialty malt for depth. This easy drinking pale ale is a "session beer" which will be welcomed at neighborhood taverns and restaurants (and refrigerators) throughout the west.

Bottle: Poured a copper color ale with a medium foamy head with good retention and average lacing. Aroma of light bitter hops with some subtle floral undertones. Taste is a well balanced mix between some lightly bitter hops with some notes of caramel malt. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not bad but lacking character and additional hops presence would have been great.

Pours a clear amber with a white, fast disappearing head. Malty aroma with a background of hops. Flavor is sweet upfront with caramel and toffee and finishes with a mild hop bite. Not a very well balanced pale ale, could certainly use a bit more hop bite.

This pale ale pours a copper color with a decent white head and a fair amount of lacing. Aroma is slightly hoppy with some citrus, honey and spice. Taste is a balanced hop, apricots, spice and sweetness. This is a pretty tasty, palatable pale ale that would work out great as a session beer. Very drinkable and refreshing.
