Commercial Description:
Blue Point Brewing's Pale Ale has a light golden color but explodes with a rich full-flavor. This refreshing ale is top fermentated and hopped at three different stages of the brewing process. English pale malt lends complexity to this brew. Small amounts of Wheat and Carapils round out the malt bill. Brewed to satisfy the hop lover, this pale ale has an immediate floral-citrus flavor that pervades the overall character of this hoppy, quenching microbrew.

On tap at the Oyster Bar Restaurant in Grand Central Station, NYC. Solid, standard APA, light orange appearance, fluffy white head with good thick lacing. Sweet floral aroma. Light citrusy flavor, a little bit of malty back end with some nutty accents. Hint of mint in there as well. Mouthfeel could be a tad thicker, but does not detract.

Deep golden amber color, clear. Light somewhat thin nose. Roasted, smoky charcoal taste- charred bacon/bacon bits. Slightly chalky texture. Not bad but I’d pass on ordering again.

Still unclear about what makes a style of beer "hoppy fresh". This tasted dry like many English Pale Ales I’ve had, and was very much the heighth of style. Decent color. I would take this over something stronger, for the flavor.

Nice fresh hoppy pale ale. I think this i sway better than thier IPA. Nice very pale yellow color with a nice head and good lacing. Lots of american cirtusy hops which leave a lot of resin on the back of the throat. Very drinkable and gets your attention. Shocking how this is only 4.6%.

(12-ounce bottle, obtained in trade, thanks Mike!) Fairly standard traditional APA that strikes a nice mellow balance between a moderate maltiness and mildly bitter hoppiness with a light tart orange citrus flavor, and maybe some mild tea; Mildly malty and hoppy nose is well balanced; Medium bodied and clean on the palate; Light gold color; Off-white head has decent retention, eventually fading to a sheen; Some sporadic lacing is left on the glass; Good easy drinker, competently made, perhaps a little above average for the category

On tap at David Copperfield’s. Poured a very clear light gold with a slight spice aroma. Taste was slightly hoppy with some lemon in there as well. In the middle a number of different types of hops came through along with some malt. Has a very complex flavor without becoming overwhelmingly bitter.

Medium sized short lasting head. Clear sparkling light orange color. Aoma of light malt and fresh oranges. Light fizzy palate. Flavor of oranges and sour grapefruit. Finishes with a light bitterness.
