Dunedin Pipers Pale Ale

Brewed by Dunedin Brewery
Style: American Pale Ale
Dunedin, Florida USA

Rerate- 1st rating was my first rating ever, so I am rerating after 2 years. Pours a clear dark gold with a dissipating white head. Nose is caramel, grass, slight citrus, and a hint of pine. Flavor is lots of caramel, some water, and lingering orange citrus. Not a bad warm up beer.

Found this old rating on a piece of paper and thought I’d enter it...It smell funky, metallic, oxidized, some maltiness but many hops. Very cloudy, copper-colored. It is chunky, and full of floaties. A thin, but frothy head. The flavor is sweet, sugarery. It is unbalanced and very malty. The finish is full of something metallic tasting. Maybe there is something wrong with this bottle.

Bottle. Hazy orange amber with a small white head. Big orangey citrus hop aroma is quite nice. (7+) Pleasant orange citrus hops in the flavour and moderate bitterness. Average palate. A solid pale ale, lovely citrus.

Pint bottle. Pours hazy golden orange with huge off-white head. The aroma is strangely spicy, with pepper and something that makes me think of wet tree bark... as I think about it I think it is mushrooms. I also smell some grapefruit and grassy citrus hops. The flavor has a deep, earthy sweetness to it with fruity hops. The bitterness is pretty tame. There are some interesting composty notes throughout, but it doesn’t really detract. Decent.

16 oz bottle. Even after 6 months in the cellar this still kicked up a 3/4 bumpy white head. Clear pale orange with spotty lace. Soapy lemon and stale butterscotch. Stinging carb with orange, lemon but mostly quinine. Clean finish with light bitterness.

This will probably be the last Dunedin beer i buy - especially when it exclaims "Best Beer in Florida" on the back. Aroma and Flavor are barely there, thin palette - not impressive.

Pint coutesy of Degarth! thanks! Pours a hazy orange, with a very bubbly off white head. This smells like the morning after i drank a bunch of screwdrivers, and then they came back up. Almost hesitant to try it, but fuck it. WAY to carbonated, with a bit of citrus taste. Don’t know how much of this i’ll be able to drink, maybe i got a bad bottle i dunno, but this isn’t my flavor.

Pint bottle. Gift from my wife and our German exchange student. Aroma of grapefruit and fresh hops. Big frothy white head. Flavor is dominated by the hops, the crispness accentuated by the high carbonation. A little difficult to drink because of the carbonation. Some caramel and a bitter finish. An interesting beer which would be much improved by less carbonation.
