Commercial Description:
This golden-hued ale has a distinctively balanced malt character and finishes with light toffee notes, a suggestion of nuts, and a clean brisk bitterness. The aroma is fruity and floral, with hints of orange from the hops, a soft smokiness, and vanilla from the medium toasted oak. NOTE: no longer made, replaced by the Firestone Pale Ale (an APA, not an EPA).

Herbal and grassy nose with wafts of bready malt. Mild citrus and biscuit notes on the palate. Clean and easy drinking session brew.

Just had a Firestone Pale Ale on tap. I’m going to assume this is the one, I’ve sampled the Pale 31 and this one was slightly different. Perfect with the Mexican food I was eating for dinner. Spicy and bitter with a full body. Amber with a frothy head. Not too heavy, just about right for a pale ale.

Pours a nice cloudy golden straw color with no head. Slight hop aroma with some grass, floral..... Taste was citrus with floral and a mild hops finish.

The worst of the Firestone line in bottles. Nice golden colro but somewht skunky on the nose and palate. Hops blended with a mulching grass smell. Not rich enough to warrant a a world class Pale rating. Too young.

Golden in color with a nice floral aroma. Hoppy taste present with malts to round up. Nice
