Compass Creek Pale Ale

Formerly brewed at Compass Creek Steakhouse & Brewing Co.
Style: American Pale Ale
Rancho Cucamonga, California USA

Cloudy. Sweet fruity, floral nose. Flavor has plenty of hops, some orangey sweetness and a fine balancing malt. I was pretty impressed with the beers here after reading bad comments at pubcrawler.

This beer was bad. It was heavily oxidized. I could hardly finish my glass without wretching. It appeared okay with a hazy light amber body and a nice creamy looking head. I guess I should have sampled this before I bought a growler of it. Harsh cardboard taste dominated this beer’s flavor. It was truly a disturbing experience. There were some hops in the background but they didn’t do a thing for flavor. This was wretched.
