Back Road American Pale Ale

Style: American Pale Ale
LaPorte, Indiana USA

Thanks for sharing, Mark. The body is medium hazy gold with an off white head. The aroma is musty dandeilons with wood and perfume. There is also a little bit of grapefruit. The taste has some grapefruit ridn with some bitter bread crust. There are also some peanuts. A decent APA.

I had this on tap recently at a local rib joint while waiting for a table. It looks like a ’regular’ pale ale but the flavor is pretty complex. It’s hoppy and bitter but has this wonderful buttery flavor and goes perfectly with BBQ.

Draft sample at Fall Fest 2007. Poured clear pale color with an average frothy white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate sour citrus hop aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of short duration. My expectations where not met.

12oz bottle- A golden yellowish body on a small white head with a fant aroma of hops, grapefruit, and floral notes. Taste of a watered down Pale along with a funky aftertaste.

Thanks to Bob, Michelle, and mostly my baby Jana for the 12th annual Indiana Microbrewers Festival today! On tap @ the fest. Nose of WTF?, pilsish, floral notes. Not impressed so far. The brew is a light straw yellow. The smal white frothy head is mostly diminishing with no lace. Still not impressed. The beer has decent bitterness with moderate acidity and a long floral finish. The medium dry body is soft. The finish feels astringent. The flavor and palate are on the right track, but this brewer still has some work to do on this one.

Light malt aroma. Light floral hop aroma. Light yeast aroma.Yellow color, clear. Small white head with virtually no lacing. Low head retention. Bitter initial flavor with acidic sour flavor following to a sour lingering finish. Light body, wtery mouthfeel with low carbonation. Either this brewery has an unusual "house flavor" or we got some bad samples with an apparent infection.

Pours a hazy light copper color with a white head. Aroma is light caramel, and light citrus/piney hops. Flavor is light malt, with a orange citrus bitter hop finish. Kind of a watery mouthfeel.
