Commercial Description:
Dogwood Pale Ale is an English-style pale ale, well attenuated with fruity, estery overtones. A blending of three hop varieties in three separate additions provides a clean bitterness. Whole leaf Cascade hops are added directly into the fermentation tank called "dry-hopping" in order to achieve a floral aroma. It is naturally carbonated for a smooth finish.

Bottle. Sweet ginger-peach aroma. Dark amber color with small head. Sweet ginger-peach flavor with mild hops finish. Nice, smooth and enjoyable - on the fruity side.

Well, this tastes like old flat soda but it was pretty old when we bought it. The flavor wasnt that bad for being so old though. looked like iced tea or something, but still had a little bit of head. lots of hops in the aroma and we got about half of em in the taste. smelled kinda skunked but didnt taste skunked, so thjat was good. wish we coulda had this when good ole dogwood was still around...

A little less than brown color with little head. It really kinda looked like ginger ale, head, carbonation and all. Kinda had a cool aroma, like hoppy grape juice. I thought it was just old, i mean it is old as they dont exist anymore. Kinda tastes alot like flat cream soda, the hops in the aroma didnt translate to the taste. Come back dogwood, come back.

So sad Dogwood’s gone away...I’ve always enjoyed picking a sixer of this for 6 bucks when not in an adventurous mood or low on cash. Well-crafted pale ale -- copper-colored and nicely hopped, with citrus/floral flavors.

Hazy golden copper color.Poured a small head and had some small patchy lace.The smell was of mostly light floral hops.There was some light malt aroma also present.The taste was mostly hop dominant.Somewhat citrusy.I never did detect any malt in the taste.It had a medium palate and good carbonation.This was a good beer,even tho the expire date was 11/23/04.Very easy drinker.I hope Dogwood will make a recovery.

Misty copper, sticky head, large bubbles. Nose of biscuity malts & hops. Sweetness & some floral spices. Taste has a nice full body & lots of malts. Finishes smooth & balanced. Good!

Bronze with a foamy white head and thick lacing. Aroma of soapy hops. Citrus floats up with some caramel and roast. Slighly unbalance towards the hops. The balance comes back with a nice blend of bitter hops and crystal malts. The citrus mixes in seemlessly making the beer smooth to drink, but not so great to smell.

For a pale ale, I actually like this one. little head, and a foggy orangy color to it. Aroma is not great, metallicy. But the taste is much better. A little on the bitter side. Nice, satisfying finish.
