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.

poured from 12 oz bottle Clear copper color with a nice sized light white head of foam. Aroma fairly nice showing some fresh hops, balanced malt and a residual sweetness. Flavour was full bodied, hops and tropical fruit present, malt good ness follows through, giving a nice balance. Most excellent beer.

This was a nice pale. Clean citrusy flavors with good hop profile. Found it pretty refreshing.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy gold with a moderate off-white head. I have to say the aroma was a big surprise and is full of grapefruit fruitiness and wildflowers. This is probably one of the most aromatic beers I have come across. The flavor is still good, but not as exceptional as the aroma with light malt followed by fruity grapefruit that is thankfully minus the white pith bitterness, for the most part. Moderate bitterness at the finish. This is a very good American Pale Ale.

Draft. Pours a golden orange body with a white head. Wheat and citrus with a lighter malt bill some caramel and earth accents. Floral pine and a lemon banana note. Decent.

Draft. Pours orange amber with a white head. Light sweet hoppy aroma with sweet malt. The flavor is well balanced, and has sweet caramel malts, floral hops, and a citric hint. Pretty good.

Cask sample. Pours copper with a white head. Smells of bitter citrus, some caramel malt, spicy. Tastes of caramel, some earthy hints, sweet citrus, peppery, some bitterness on the finish.

Cask. Moderate malt and hop notes of roasted, caramel and grapefruit, light dough and broth for the yeast, with background notes of berry and toffee. Head is large, frothy, white, with excellent lacing and is fully lasting. Color is murky amber/tan. Flavor is slightly sweet and lightly acidic to start, then finishes lightly to moderately acidic and lightly bitter. Palate is medium, oily and has a flat carbonation. An awesome, aromatic American Pale Ale. The fact that it came out of a cask certainly added to it’s better qualities.

half gallon growler. Pours nice orange color with thick head. Fresh, citrus nose. Hops was stronger than I was expecting, but was pleasantly surprised. Wanted a higher abv. I drank almost the whole half gallon myself and hardly felt it... this is a lot for me.
