Great Lakes Burning River Pale Ale

Brewed by Great Lakes Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Cleveland, Ohio USA

Bottle from StFun (Thanks!) Clear pumpkin colored pour, a little carbonation and a pleasant bitter orange aroma. Flavor left something to be desired; started a little citrusy and then jumped to some unpleasant sour and bitterness. Would definitely rerate if this comes my way again, considering most of the other ratings are much higher than mine.

Bottle. Unclear golden orange with a medium white head. Nice floral hop aroma. Flavor is a nice balance of hops and malts. Finish dry with moderate bitterness. A very well rounded Pale Ale that is very drinkable and better than I expected.

Growler kindly shared by HogTownHarry with me. Appearance: Orange/ruby red body, nice white head. Aroma: Hoppy, malty, strawberries, some caramel and citrus too. Flavour: Quite hoppy, a little malty, slight pineapple, nice long malt finish. It’s a fine solid ale. Very drinkable.

Bottle. A slightly cloudy golden orange with a one finger white head,lively carbonation. Aroma is of nice floral,pine and citrus hops. Flavor is crisp,fresh piny hops,citrus,grapefruit and a hint of orange zest,just enough pale malt to add some balance,not overly bitter just nice and crisp,Medium bodied with a nice, pleasing mouthfeel , fresh hoppy finish is slightly dry, very drinkable. One of the better APA I have had.

Light amber color is a little head that leaves a good amount of lacing. Nice tastes of hops and citrus, very refreshing. Another awesome beer from an awesome brewery.

Enjoyed via both draft and 12oz bottle. Pours a medium golden hue. I have had this beer on several occasions, but was most impressed by in my most recent sampling. The hoppy nose comes through, just as one would expect. I felt there could be a tad more, but very solid, overall. The palate brings hops up front, with a nice malt backbone to balance. The finish is dry. Excellent example of the style; excellent beer.

Bottle. Pours a nice golden amber color and a medium white head. Aroma is mostly hops and a little piney honey notes, little malty caramel taste. Palate is ince for a pale ale. I ave to say, a very good amount of taste and palate for a pale ale. Very Enjoyable.
