A little hint of bitter but mostly roasted flavors take center stage. A little carmel. Berghoff’s are so underrated. 4d71bostont (2), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA does not count | 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 3, 2006 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. k2 (146), USA

This time, the pale ale is nice & fresh. I think they’ve upped the hops because I’m getting a real wallop of citrus and pine all the way through. There also seems to be a bit more malt in the background than I remember. Overall, a very yummy pale ale--and a great buy.
RERATE: I don’t know if my tastes have changed or if the batch of this beer I just bought is a little funky. Whatever the case, I’m detecting a metallic taste in the background that I hadn’t noticed before. Also, I’m getting a little too much carbonation. Still not a bad beer but not as good as I remembered it from my original rating.
ORIGINAL WRITE-UP:
I tried this beer because of its relatively inexpensive price and my positive impression of Berghoff beers in general. I wasn’t disappointed at all; in fact, I think this pale ale is a marvelous buy. It’s as tasty as my favorite ’Tyranena Stone Tepee Ale’ and it costs somewhat less. This will probably become a ’regular buy’ for me. jerkadilly74 (155), mooresville, Indiana, USA

Smooth, nice finish, wasn't expecting a lot because these were so cheap but was pleasantly suprised. Similar to Leinenkugels in some ways. davidoc (113), Chicago, Illinois, USA

Malty spicy aroma with a faint acidity. Medium bodied with a dryish nutty maltiness and a good hoppy bitterness-well balanced, not particularly citrusy, pretty good.
