Great Lakes Burning River Pale Ale

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

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.

Bottle - Man...this beer goes down easy! Pours light amber with a huge foamy white head. Aroma is sweet caramelly malt with light citrus hops. The taste starts with a real smooth maltiness and finishs with real dry hops -- a little too dry for my taste. Medium-bodied with creamy carbonation. I could drink six of these easily.

Bottle from WBF in Raleigh. This is solid! Light amber pour with light citrusy hops. Decent malt; well balanced and easy to drink. Seems like a perfect summer beer.

pours amber/copper with small white head. lots of pine in the aroma with some citrus and malt. drinks very similar with bitter pine upfront and followed up by a quick citrus blast, and ended with a nice malt. great daily drinker

Bottle from the Great Lakes sampler box. Really great aroma of hops and a hint of pine. Really nicely blended hops taste with some definite citrus notes. Very solid and drinkable beer. Would buy again soon.

Bottle courtesy of crizay. Good floral and citrus aroma on the nose. Copper body with off white head. Good amount of citrus hop flavor to this beer. Cool and crisp on the palate. Thanks Chris.

Not too hoppy and a little sweet. Some earthy aroma and some citrus and grass. Not bad.
