Alcatraz Pale Ale

Formerly brewed at Coast Range Brewing Co.
Style: American Pale Ale
Gilroy, California USA

Bottle courtesy of behensonb. I notice this is retired and he rated it almost two years ago so I guess this was in his cellar a while. Held up fine, as it poured a clear amber with small tan head and light lacing. Nose was of caramel malts . Light mouthfeel. Flavor was lightly bitter as was t the finish. Cool bottle, and someone should purchase the name and artwork and bring this back.

This copper ale poured with a slight beige head. The flavor is watery with a hint of malt and a bitter finish. One for the drain.

Warm, malty aroma. Amber color with a decent white head that tried to lace. Near medium bodied with creamy carbonation. Starts with lightly roasted caramel, followed by some decent floral hop. As the sweet disipates in the finish, a nice amount of bitter cradles the tongue. Makes me think ESB. Well done, considering this seems to be a beer to sell to the tourists. [Probably by the bottle, as the six pack was white with blue block letters].
