902.91/5.02.9/5.0-40.3English pint, Shaker
Commercial Description:
This amber colored beer is our interpretation of the classic British Pale Ale originating in Burton-Upon-Trent, England. Three varieties of American grown hops create a pleasing bitterness, aroma and lingering hop taste. Our Pale Ale's medium-light body and clean taste make it an excellent accompaniment to a fine meal or a satisfying drink all by itself.

Draft pint. Hazy golden slightly amber with small white lacy head. Slight malt aroma with very little hop aroma. Light mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Flavor of pale malt sweetness, with a bit of hop flovor, and some lingering hop bitterness in the finish. Overall a nice clean lightly hoped english style pale ale.

Who knows how many pints of this stuff I’ve consumed over the years. An unspectacular but well done brew, with a heavier, more bready body than the brewers seem to acknowledge and a slightly indistinct hop profile. In general, though, it’s good and clean, with a nice balance between flavorful English style and aggressive American style.

Appearance: Pours a clear, orange body with a small white head. Smell: Rather light aroma of palt malt, grains, with the faintest touch of hops. Taste: Light pale malt flavor with an equally light sweetness. A medium spicy bitterness kicks in. Splash of cold, cool mineral water. Lightly bitter finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Watery mouthfeel. Drinkability: Fine for an exceedingly pale pale ale.

12oz bottle. Orange color. Slight aroma of toffee. Flavor lacks. Not much to say. Tastes like a lager. Good hop finish, just not malt character.

overall, i just think that people need to stop making english style beers. this was fine i guess, but american pale ales are just so much better.
