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.

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.

Light but definatly present funky hops with a stong grain/ grassy backbone. Clear honey colored body. Interesting thin-ish mouthfeel reminds me of rain water and tea. Very interesting hop charactor remains very present and very delicate imparting only a little bitterness. Carmel mats shine alonge side the hoppyness with bread and grass with a respectfull amount of sweetness. Finnishes bready and herbal.

(Bottle) Mondial de la Bière 2004. Thin, white head with a clear amber body. Nose of simple cascade hops. Pleasant, hoppy and smooth. Above average.

Bottle. Nice hoppy aroma belies the fact that there is not a lot of bitterness in the body. Pleasant and well balanced but restrained and unexciting. Mondiale 3T (Capflu).

Deep straw yellow wearing a low white head. Explosive minty c-hops, grapefruity and citrusy with a nice cookie malt base. It appears remarkably balanced for what it is. Grapefruit oriented taste, but with this nice mint touch adding to the typical orange and light lemon. It’s mostly straightforward, but pleasant nonetheless. Mostly thin to medium bodied with a high carbonation. I’m usually not a fan of C-hops redundant stories, but after a few so-so beers, this one was welcomed and I may have overrated it.

Overwhelming, grapefruity C-hops merge into orange zest formation and deftly fly through the nostril forest...Less assertive than expected from the aroma, the flavors seem to attempt balance but fail, as caramel sweetness is nowhere near as confident as the exhibitionist hoppiness...A very good hoppy pale ale, aimed to please lovers of citrusy bitterness...

Light yellow with a thin white head. Citrusy hop nose. Taste is huge on hops, some soapy and rindy notes, nice malty middle and even more hops at the end. An unexpected delight from a brewery I hadn’t heard of.

Clear copper color with a nice sized light white head. Taste had a mellow hop kick to it balanced out beautifully with a sweet maltiness. I have to say, these guys really know their shit.
