Commercial Description:
Our flagship pale is a classic British pale ale with a nod to the legendary beers of Burton-on-Trent. Copper-colored, dry, clean and crisp with lots of late hope taste in an appetizing complex with ale fruitiness from imported Hampshire yeast.
Ingredients: Two row English malt (pale, crystal and chocolate); Cascade, Mt Hood, Tettnang and Fuggle Hops.

En fût. Pinte dégustée chez Great Lost Bear (Portland, ME). Arôme: Odeur de caramel légèrement fruité avec une pointe d’houblons. Apparence: La couleur est ambrée. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de caramel avec une pointe de pamplemousse et de céréales. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère amertume d’houblons en arrière goût. (Rating #2714)

Clear amber with decnt little head and nice lace. Aroma is caramelly sweet with hints of hops. Goes down smooth, sits well on the tongue

Really didn’t do much for me. Not very pale, or fruity, or complex...did I miss something? Eh, I tried other Geary’s that were much better.

A: Poured on-tap with a very small head that quickly diminished to a thin film. The beer is a dark orange color, with a clear body with some slight haziness. S: Lightly hoppy and some citrus... pretty much exactly what you’d expect from an APA. T: Quite a nice flavor, coming across as citrusy at first, but then ending with a very nice, hoppy bitterness that sticks with you for a good amount of time after swallowing. M: Medium-bodied, with a creamy/oily texture. Nice carbonation. D: An easy-to-drink APA with good taste and mouthfeel. Nothing overly special, but still a very decent entry and probably my favorite Geary’s beer to date.

12 oz bottle - pours an amber color with a thick foamy tan head. Aroma of malt, sugar, caramel and dark fruit. The taste definitely lets you know that this is much more of an English Pale Ale and not a typical American Pale Ale - you don’t get the citrus / hoppy taste you get from an APA - this is much more in the way of malts, caramel, sugar and carbonation. It’s a solid ale.

Pours a golden orange with a little tiny head. Aroma is of some citrus and some tropical fruit....maybe some banana peel. Taste is similar with a wee bit of hops..modest carbonation. Yay.

Smells strongly of artificial banana (like the runts bananas). Tastes like them as well. Medium sized head. Not extremely interesting.

An ok beer. Drank at Cheers in Boston. Orange copper in color. Small off white head. Faint citrus aroma with hop taste coming thru at the end
