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.

Broudy’s Liquors, Jacksonville, Beach, Fl - 12 oz bottle. Pours a murkly dark orange with a spongy, sticky white head, that sticks around a little bit. Puingent aroma, reminiscent of overripe fruit. Flavor has that patented home-brewer malt taste with a touch of citrus and maple syrup. Mouthfeel is slightly sticky. Not the best APA.

Pleasant copper appearance, clean, floral nose with hints of mint and citrus. Tight white head with little lacing. Chewy flavor with some nutty notes and a mild citrusy undertone. Hops make their presence, but not overdone. A little bit of caramel lingers in the back end. Nice mouthfeel. Stays strong to the finish.

Hmm... not a very good pale ale. It pours golden-orange with a smallish white head. Smells light and slightly bitter. No real hops to notice in the nose. Initial taste is disappointing. I expected at least some hops to speak of, but just got a light malt with a little bit of fruit. Body is medium-light with a tiny bit of coating. Finish is some sort of sour maltiness. Overall, rather uninteresting. Too bad.

Bottle. (NB Pils) Pours light amber, no head and steady carbonation. Nose is metallic and pale, with some sour fruity notes. Flavor is fresh, light, sweet fruitiness(pear, apple, orange), with a soapy finish. Just a hint of a nutty character. Body is quite thin, but lively on the palate. Refreshing. "It is soft."

Light orange body with a thin head. The aroma is overripe oranges with some peaches and a little caramel. The taste is sweet caramel and roasted nuts. There is also a pronounced orange flavoring. The body is slightly thin. This could use a little more hops to balance the sweetness.

My god, what is that smell? It smells like rotten melon with caramel malt out the yang. Nice copper color with a fluffy head. Tingly mouthfeel, decently carbonated. Flavor is way too sweet - caramel and melon and mustiness of some British hops. Very unworthy of me passing time with this.

Pours Amber with offwhite head. A hint of hops and malt in the aroma but nothing exciting to taste. Pretty ho hum.. Nothing memorable about this pale ale.

Nice caramel malt aroma. Just enough hop flavor to balance the malt. A very good example of what an English Pale Ale should be.

Reminded me of a "up-scale" macro. Pretty plain and ho-hum tasting. Didnt expect much more, but still.
