City Pale Ale

Brewed by City Brewery (Melanie Brewing Co)
Style: American Pale Ale
La Crosse, Wisconsin USA

Pour is a orange with a white head. Aroma tells me there is deffinatly hops here. Flavor is very malty and hoppy. Very nice brew from a brewer not know for great beer. Its not hop devil but it hits the spot.

Bottle. Not much to this clear orange ale. Mild floral hops and caramel malts that all seem watered down. Bland and non-offensive. I used the rest to give a quick boil to a couple of brats.

12oz bottle, no date. I’m a little wary seeing as how the label looks cheesey and old, and the fact that I’ve only had their City Slicker Malt Liquor, and it was awful (go figure). Here goes. Pours a clear copper with a small off-white head. Aroma of pine and citrus hops, and a biscuity malt sweetness, even some yeasty fruitiness. Taste is kinda crappy. Kinda piney, astringent, and plain old bitter. Smelled pretty decent, but that’s about it. blah.

Poured an effervescnet amber with a fizzy amber head. Aroma of nice grapefruit and pine hops with some sugary sweetness. Taste is strong bitter grapefruit hops up front with a viscous caramel sweetness. Pretty thick body for the style. Feels and tastes like a bigger beer. Overall a nice pale ale and a surprising find.

Thanks to El_Borracho for this bottle. Pleasant enough pale ale...lightly roasted malts...sweet caramel, light citrus notes as well. A decent hop bite in the finish. Average, but drinkable APA.

toffee color, almond-colored head. light lemon, butter and caramel nose. flavor is brown sugar, lemon, cardboard and a hint of alcohol...a light earthiness in the finish.

Copper, off-white head. Nose lightly hoppy, bit citric. Pleasing flavor, orange/citrus hops, decent sweetness. Nice palate, not thin or grainy, decent creaminess.

pours clear golden/orange with thick, quickly diminishing offshite head. bitter to the nose with some grassy orange characters. thin taste ,slight bitter ending.
