Firestone Walker Pale 31

Brewed by Firestone Walker Brewing Co.
Style: American Pale Ale
Paso Robles, California USA

Pours golden with a medium head. Doesn’t retain well. Strong citrusy flavors along with strong hops. Very refreshing beer.

Aroma of perfume and grapefruit. A little breadiness. Pours golden with big bubbles. Flavor is alot different than aroma. Very bready with medium bitterness. Easy drinking. Refreshing even. The aroma is quite a bit better than the taste, but the taste is by no means bad.

Aroma is an incredible fireworks of very clean piney,citrusy hop and bursts of caramel and toffee,theres a real unique crispness to it ,like a garden after a shower,very intoxicating, taste could not deliver all that, piney grassy hop ,with caramel malt trying to provide backing,but all eventually yield to the bittering hops,which dominate at the end. The body is light medium,making this an almost perfect session brew for hopheads

Clear pale with a medium white head. The aroma is bread, honey and light pine. The flavor is pine, bread and slightly metalic. Medium/light body with sharp carbonation. Lame.

Good beer, only had a taste. But I can tell you right now that is better than Sierra Nevada. Hopsy, yet smooth. I want to try this again, and will soon.

Very smotth ale, nice mid-golden color, recommended to all. Good balance of malts and hops.

Seeing as men’s health, or whatever men’s magazine rated this in the top 25 beers, I had to give it a whirl. Pours out medium shade of gold with a thin fading white head. Aroma of citrus and pine hops with slight malt, nothing overpowering. Taste is well balanced and smooth. Citrus/pine hops with a slight malt in the background. Solid beer, I would drink this again.

Aroma of evergreen and grapefruit. Maybe a little malt. Light golden amber color with a white head that didn’t linger. Starts with light to medium mouthfeel, with dilute grapefruit and pine hop. Underlying caramel malt. Nice bitterness in the finish.
