Boulder Beer Pass Time Pale Ale

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

Dark yellow with a amber-brownish tone in its color, finger high head of off-white creamy froth, faded fast, leaves some stringy lace. Smell is mostly sweet caramel malts with a small hint of floral hops and honey sweetness. Taste is a near perfect reflection of the smell with lots of sweet lightly sugary caramel malts with a touch of soft floral hops and honey. Damn good and scrumptious, but where's the hops if this is a pale? This is a nearly all malt pleasure. Feel is medium body, buttery smooth, very small twinge located near the finish. Super drinkable, I already crave another, but as a pale/bitter, if that is indeed its intent, it needs more hops and bitterness, but man, its still very yummy. Session material for sure.

i read some of the number on the other reviews. And I’m shocked - This beer is an excellent example of an english pale ale. It’s smooth and sweet - and malty not overly hoppy. If you like seirra’s pale ale you’ll HATE this.

This beer is a cloudy amber with a small, dense, white head. Excellent lacing. The aroma is of fresh pine and sweet caramel-- maybe some berries. On the palate, it’s smooth, fizzy, and medium-light. It’s well bittered. The tart tenor malt and fruity yeast blend well with the bitterness. It’s a bit heavy to be a session ale.

very enjoyable, cholcolate, roasted flavor. nice dark color. it doesnt seem to measure up to sierra nevada, but it is still a great beer.

very fruity, similar to sierra nevada’s product. lots of fruit flavor in the finish...apricot or peach, i couldnt tell. good beer

Color is a clear and bright orange. Lots of carbonation. Unstable puffy head. Clear but doesn’t appear watery. Nice smell of a slightly pale pub ale. Sweet bready malt with a hint of paleness. Mild, slightly sweet hop. Very mild and balanced. Taste is an understated pale malt with pleasant mild hops. Quite good. Not bitter at all. The pale malt is a tad chlorine-ish, but also flowery. Pretty good metallic aftertaste. It’s thicker than expected. Dry on the tongue. Dances a bit. Champagne feel to some degree. Overall it’s a nicely balanced pale ale. Not too bitter, not too pale. Pretty darn good.

Malty and nice. It seems the guys at Rockies Brewing like to make an underhopped, heavily malted brew. Which is exactly the type I like to drink most of the time. Very nice.

I liked. Big head, fruity maltiness in nose and flavor. I didn’t think that this was like most pales, it didn’t have the standard cascade hoppiness that I’m growing weary of. Hints of chocolate with some very slight mintiness in the finish. Not too bad, but it could have been labeled as a ’red ale’ and but for the color, I wouldn’t have known the difference.
