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.

12 oz bottle-pours a creamy white head with hazy gold color. Aroma is malt and hops. Taste is caramel malt and hops. Good carbonation.

Bottle. Pours a dark gold with minimal head and zero lacing. Nose is bread, malt and grass. Taste is caramel matt, honey and a mild citrus hop finish. Light mouth feel. Not very good.

Pours golden copper. Mild hop aroma. Flavor is malty and sweet. Low bitterness. Not particularly complex, but not offensive in any way.

Citrus and yeast aroma, hops predominate, sweet fruity finish, almost wine like aftertaste. Not bad, more strange than good.

Bottle--Well, I wished I knew about the reviews ahead of drinking the beer. I was really expecting something special, but ended up being just mediocre. The color was amber with a short lasting head. Some hop aroma started the beer and the taste was of mild hops.

North Coast makes Rasputin and this? I am surprised. At this price point I would expect a better beer. Very little aroma and not much hop character for a pale ale - sort of blah.
