Commercial Description:
Fremont is the self-proclaimed “Center of the Universe” and Universale, our flagship product, honors the namesake of our unique location. Universale Pale Ale offers a distinctive Northwest twist on the classic pale ale, using a select blend of organic Gambrinus pale roasted malt and Old World malts balanced with classic Northwest hops to achieve a heavenly beer of rich malt flavor and subtle hop spice. This is beer. Enjoy.

Tap at the High Life. Nice amber pour, enjoyable citric hop snap atop something rather like an English Pale malt body. As I work my way through the pint, though, I find it hard to overlook the off-flavors that crackedmachine noted, both metallic elements and a touch of boiled cruciferous vegetables. Nevertheless, quite reasonable pale with enough hop presence to keep from regretting not ordering an IPA..

Archetypally beautiful and tasty. Exactly the pint i’ve been craving for months, a clean, bright, fresh and powerfully balanced pale ale. Nice citrus and pine in great golden amber package. Impressive first pint from the new Fremont Brewery for me, can’t wait for more.

had at Fremont okto fest. This is a nice pale ale. A good hop. A bit fruity, more floral and some good bittering hops. A great surprise to the festival for me.

Who put the "Free" in "Fremont"? Alex?

On tap at the Fremont Oktoberfest. Pours cloudy dark orange with an off-white ring of foam. Sweet peach and grapefruit nose. Taste of toffee, peach, earth, spice and citrus. Crisp finish. This is nice stuff!

This should probably be spelled "Fremont". Nice hoppy, floral aroma. Slightly dark copper color with a medium head. More bitter and hoppy than a typical pale. Nice. There is a slightly off flavor, hard to identify, but a bit metallic. Still, very drinkable. A promising start for this brewery. ...Having had this a few more times over the months, I have to revise my 3.0 rating. The diacetyl flavor has been corrected and this is a very good, hoppy pale ale.

Bronze with crisp head. Honeyed floral grapefruit aroma. Body has a solid malt quality, with some honey malt flavor and barely discernable graininess. A bit of wet shoe intermingles with reserved grapefruit. Pretty reserved bitterness.

Oh my god, first rating of this beer. I am the mother-fucking man! Nose is nice and hoppy with hints of citrus and floral hops. Light base malt notes are bready and a bit sweet. Smells almost like Manny’s IMO. Pours a hazy golden orange with a nice thin head and good lace. Dry light and quenching with a hint of sweetness and a nice hoppy finish. Notes of orange, light citrus and some floral notes too. Insanely drinkable. Rather nice.
