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.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Cookies, hops caramel and some malts in aroma. Flavour is hoppy and smooth, along with some caramellish malts. Leavers a nice sweetishbitter flavour in aftertaste.

Bottle: Light gold color, medium head. A lighter bodied pale ale. Mild hops and malt. Good flavor. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. Not worth the price I paid.

Bottle poured a hazy gold with a small lasting white head. Aromas of bread, light citrus and a bit of honey. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of bread, abit of honey and some lemon with a crisp clean finish. Very drinkable but nothing special.

Light copper color with thin white head. Light aroma of citrus hops and some light roasted malts. Several flavors seem to hit all at once with the first sip. Spicy and grapefruit tartness and grassy piney flavors. Following the hop dominated palate was sweet and grainy malts. The finish is a bit tart. There might be a slight nuttiness too.

Pours clear golden-orange into the glass with a tiny head, quickly diminishing leaving a light sudsy lace. Some citrus and sour grains to the nose. Flavors are subdued citrus, melon and honey, malt and indistinct muddy hops. The finish is subdued, and of lightly sweet bitters. The body is medium-light, and the mouthfeel is somewhat light and airy. Overall, just very mediocre. Nothing stands out in this brew. I’m a bit disappointed in the ACME brewer from the samplings I’ve tried.

Pale golden color with a small white head. Aroma is nice with floral and citrus hop tones, some malty sweetness. Taste is identical, but lacks any intensity. It just doesn’t follow up the aroma with enough taste.

A good pale ale, but I need something stronger, something with more bite, more hops. Lacks a memorable finish
