Commercial Description:
A perfect companion any way you pass time, this British-style pale ale is exceptionally soft and sweet compared with highly hopped American-style pale ales. The hop subtlety, distinct malt character and rich caramel color of Pass Time Pale Ale work together to create a smooth, lightly carbonated ale.

As a fan of the american style pale ales, this was a little bit of a let down. Just seemed a little too bland. Perhaps the low carbonation level contributed to the blandness of the beer, but I can see little other use for this other than getting tanked off a decent brew.

Smells of apples, is a nice copper color. Taste reminds me of apple juice but not in an unpleasant way. A very enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Clear amber to coppel colored. Aromas of buttery caramel and red apple peel. Caramel malt and earthy hop flavors punctuated by a mild spicy character. Some apple/citrus notes as well. Some minerals/salts detectable on the finish, reminding me a bit of Great Divide Denver PA (same water?). Medium bodied but drinkable. Competent if unexciting take on a British style session.

Poured from bottle...nice amber color with a decent white head. Very nice carbonation also. Aroma is very caramel like...with a sour note in the background. This one is very sharp and bitter...not all that bad. There is a strange taste...maybe it was the coughdrop I had a while back....

Pours amber/brown with a thin foamy head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of light malt and earthy hops. Flavor is mild malty with an edge of astringency. Light hop flavor and a slightly metallic "twang" in the finish.

Bottle from Frugal McDugal in Nashville. Pours a pale amber with a dissipating white head. Aroma of caramel malt, bread, and some floral hops. Initial flavor of toasted malt and wet grains that transitions to a subtle herbal hop middle, with pronounced unpleasant tea notes. Unenjoyable bitter finish that is slightly sour. This is not very good. I’d rather drink Ross’s homebrew.

Killer head. Taste like a hoppy apple juice. Not good. Not good at all. Drain pour. Can’t believe I hauled this shit all the way from WY back to TX.
