Delafield Hops and Glory American Ale

On draught during Great Taste of Midwest 2009 in Madison, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-hazy golden yellow colored brew with a short lived off-white head that dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of light caramel malt, citrus and grassy hops with a touch of clover honey. Taste is llightly carbonated, light to medium bodied with a good balance of malt and citrus hop flavors. Finish is slightly metalic, dry and then soft with a sweet citrus aftertaste. It’s a little light in flavor but the finish is still a good pale ale.

On tap at Delafield Brewhaus. Poured slightly-hazy medium golden with a nice short cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up sweet darker grapefruit and caramel with decidedly bitter grapefruit and pine accents.. came across a touch too sweet, but was otherwise enjoyable. Very sweet caramel and fruity maltage at the flavor core with a higher level of pine and grapefruit bitterness surrounding.. long, lengthy warm and bitter finish.. tasty! Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation.. nice bitterness, decent balance.

10 oz draught at the brewpub in early August 2006. Dark hazy gold with a moderate stable head and thick lacing....nose of apple-peach, bit of pine sap, touch of floral character, subdued but pleasant enough....much stronger flavor profile, bold big citric hop bitterness throughout, juicy and wet through to the finish, the body is just a tad thin....really refreshing and pleasant though ultimately not exciting.

Golden amber color. Smell of hop, malt and honey. Taste of sweet hops mixed in with some flowers. A malty, sweet bitterness at the end.

Yellow / Light Gold Coloring with White Ring. Crisp Hops Aroma. Crispy Clean Hops Pilsener Taste..Dry Hop Aftertaste... More Hops Then Anything But Still a Very Drinkable Summer Brew.

Clear bright gold with a sudsy, dense white head. Enjoyable nose: bittersweet hops bouquet, potatoes hoisted from the soil, some honeysuckle and sugar. Clean, brisk and bitter. Hops manifest in a flavor profile of fresh pine needles and acupuncture the palate in a similar nature. Enough malt sweetening to get by, but I’d like a stronger showing from caramel malts. Solid rendition by the Brewhaus.

On tap at the Delafield Brewhaus. Poured a medium amber color with a smalled sized white head. Aromas and tastes of flowers and grapefruit. Lightly sweet. Thinner body.

Served in a 16 ounce glass at the Brewaus. Cascade all the way, not much malt but appropriate to syle. Light finish. Refreshing.
