Charleston Pale Ale

Brewed by Carolina Beer Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Mooresville, North Carolina USA

Hmmm... sweet, unremarkable fruit juice beer lacking in hops and character. Not a drain pour but needs work.

I am not a big fan of this style of beer, in fact it leaves a lot to be desired with nothing to distinguish it from any other mediocre beer. Bah-

This pale ale pours a cloudy amber color with a thin, off white head that dissipates quickly. It has an aroma of malty sweetness with a bit of caramel and no hops present. It has a medium body with lively carbonation and a somewhat thin and watery mouthfeel. The flavor is all malt up front and in the finish. The finish is lingering and malty sweet. Definitely not what I expect from a pale ale, this one is all about the malts. Not bad, but needs to up the malts as well hops in this one to give it more body and flavor.

Truly mediocre - must have been brewed for the un-courageous. Very light in the malt department - also shows in it's lighter yellow color. Hops are here, but barely - This is a fine thirst quencher, but nothing more.

Boring pale ale. Looked & tasted like any other weak pale.

Tasted side by side with several other ales and it was especially weak in comparison. Good pouring beer with decent head, just lacking in the flavor department.

Crisp, dry, boring. I am cancelling my Beer of the Month club if they don’t stop sending out this swill.

Has a distinct citrus taste. A great outside summer beer. I’d drink it again in a heartbeat.
