Aspen Meadow Pale Ale

Brewed by Cold Spring Brewery
Style: American Pale Ale
Cold Spring, Minnesota USA

Another one for the bad brew books,Decent golden color,small white head that faded quickly leaving little behind.The aroma was forgettable,light malt sort of sweet with a faint attempt at hops.There is a bit of fruit coming through but just barely.The flavor was weak for a PA,malty and sweet with very nearly no hops at all.slight sweet malt after taste with just a faint hint of hops coming through.I have to wonder if these guys really know how to brew or do they just throw grains and hops together and hope for a brew that is semi drinkable.Just plain nasty and i wouldn’t recommend this even if you just want a rateing.

First its not a pale ale. Overly malty and sweet. Bad. Had a hard time getting through one. The ingredients seemed very low quality, which in turns makes a very low quality beer. Yuck, touch of terrible hops at the end. Don't Buy.

Not too bad. I was a bit reluctant to get it since I was not overjoyed with their red ale, but It was on sale, so I figured I'd try it out. Poured light golden color. Just as their red, the head evaporated quickly and the lacing was barely there. Decent carbonation. Flavor had some nice flavors and some sweetness, but the body was a bit watery. Again, just like their red, it reminds me of Grain Belt Premium. I didn't notice much of a Hop taste at all. Not much of a pale ale compared to Summit or others, but still a halfway decent beer. I'd drink it again if it's on sale, but I won't pay the "regular price" for it. It's still worth a try if you can get it for a good price.

Good stuff, tastes like a typical pale ale. It goes down really smooth like a good woman on a cheap date.

A golden color with a bubbly head. Slightly fruity and malty in the aroma. Flavors of fruit malt and wheats. A bit of caramel throughout. I couldn't really taste any hops.

I agree with Igneousboy, this brew is not nearly hoppy enough for an American-style Pale Ale. Nevertheless, this beer reminded me very much of Fullers ESB, which is a good thing, and as such tasted more like a Bitter than a Pale Ale. Light burnt malt, perhaps with molasses and vanilla undertones. Frothy, mostly diminishing white head. Deep gold in color, medium bodied and softly carbonated. A solid offering.

nice golden color,a pungent,slightly skunk nose, with a mildly bitter finish and not too filling, overall a pretty good brew, i would buy it again

A very watery pale ale with little in the malt department and weak cascadey finish. Nothing worth seeking here.
