Berghoff Pale Ale

Brewed by Minhas Craft Brewery
Style: American Pale Ale
Monroe, Wisconsin USA

Pleasant hoppy aroma that is expected with a pale. Light golden in appearance. Lively carbonation. Does not have the hoppy bitterness that I look for in a pale ale. Decent taste, small quickly disappearing head when poured from a bottle. Little aftertaste. This is not a sipping ale but rather a thirst quenching ale.

From a 12oz. twisted cap long neck brown bottle with no freshness date. Made a decent appearance, poured a clear amber hued golden with a foamy white head that settled into a thin, semi-sticky lacing, good carbonation. Had a citric and floral nose with a little sweet fruitiness. A crisp smooth medium bodied mouth feel, above average drinkability. Grainy and subtle caramel malty taste that is quickly followed by a spicy citric hoppiness, sharp, then rolling on the tongue, a sweet fruitiness towards the end and a dry grainy and mildly bitter finish. One of the better beers from Berghoff/Huber, affordable and quaffable, often on sale in my area.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with JCapriotti (thanks!). Poured a medium and clear amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, caramel and lemon pledge. Bland tastes of citrus and bready. Nothing really stands out about this except the lemon pledge aroma.

My god, never have I tasted something so undeserving of the title pale ale. This is just awful. I don’t think there are any hops in here. The aroma is sweet caramel and weird like strawberry or something. Flavor is exactly the same. Just blahhh malt and no hops. Honestly I didn’t expect anything more. Thank god my 500th rating is close so I can drink a Mephistophiles. again, this beer sucks bad. No wonder why the Berghoff children don’t want to run the company any more. Their beers suck dick. At least at 5.8% it’s above average for alcohol

Pours an amber hue with small white fizzy head. Aroma is of citrus and metal. This beer is probabally a little too cold for this style, but still tastes warm. Its just an eh.

Gold colored pale ale, strong hop aroma. The hops hit the back of your mouth and leave a nice after taste. The Berghoff Variety pack is a good buy to get to know their beers.

This is a nice looking beer. It is crisp looking and clean, honey colored with a small head that hangs on. First taste is bitter that lasts through the glass. There are some hops and sour citrus notes, also. Berghoff offers a 12 pack with 6 different flavors. I am finding that their beers are nice but not spectacular. The Pale Ale is another example.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear orange-y, not much head. Ordinary flavor. Ordinary beer.
