Boulder Beer Pass Time Pale Ale

Brewed by Boulder Beer Company
Style: English Pale Ale
Boulder, Colorado USA

Not a very nice aroma or flavor to this beer. Extremely lacking in discernible flavors and generally watery tasting. Don’t recommend it.

Bottle and served in a no-nik pint glass: A clean deep golden hue with a lasting frothy head. The aroma is dusty and grassy with notes of sweet malt, toffee and honey. A mild estery nose leads to a watery but refreshing drink that is balanced by simple noble bitterness and sweet doughy malts. One knock is a lingering metallic aftertaste that should not be dominate in an English styled pale ale...next.

Amber-copper color with a big head on the pour, this pale ale has a slight sweet maltiness and small dry finish. Unremarkable.

Bottled. Beer is clear, light orange-amber colored. Head is initially small, off-white, frothy/fizzy, and burns itself out almost immediately. Remains on as a scant ring.<P> The aroma is malty with light notes of toasted cookie, caramel; Hoppy with a light note of resinous pine; Yeasty with a light note of attic, trace of sharp cheddar; Light miscellaneous notes of vanilla and peach.<P> The flavor is moderately sweet, moderately bitter, lightly acidic with an average-length, lightly acidic, lightly sweet finish. Little metallic in the retros.<P>The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.<P>Strikes me as a great balance of flavors with a neat kick of summer stone fruit balancing out the hop-centered nose. More than I expected.

Bottle. Poured a golden color with a thite head. Aroma of malt and barley. Taste is smooth with a very light hop finish.

Orangey gold, thin white head. Nice, rich caramelly aroma, and a whiff of melon, too. Clean and sweetly fruity, with a faint hop bite. A bit of a stale edge at the finish.

Bottle. Pours a light copper color with a smallish off white head. Aroma is weak, some malt, and citrus. Flavor is weak too, malt, light hops notes. Palate is weak too, thin and watery, mild carbonation, mildly bitter finiszzzzzzz.......

Bottle poured a clear copper with a small lingering light amber head. Aromas of bread and carmel with some light citrus notes. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of bread, light carmel, light earthiness and a hint of nuts with a lightly bitter finish.
