Citrus and pine aroma with a slight malt background. Good flavor of malt and strong citrusy hops. Nice bitter finish begs for another sip. Definately a good IPA.

Sampled at the Flour City Brewers’ Fest 2008. Great Lakes Burning River Pale Ale is a clear, slightly carbonated golden ale. The head is thick, foamy and off-white. It has great retention and leaves nice lacing on the glass. The aroma is a little muted by the head, but it’s mostly fresh citrus, probably Cascade. It is medium bodied, a little starchy in the mouth and the finish is dry. It has pretty good balance, OK bitterness. There is a slight phenolic flavor. Not bad!

Poured from bottle. Hop/malt/floral aroma. Bronze amber. Hop and malt in the flavor, with roasted notes in the aftertaste. A nice pale ale.

I’m not sure how this is an IPA when the bottle itself calls it a Pale Ale, but anyways. It pours a pale copper color and maintains a decent head. The flavor is of hops and has some citrusy notes. Not a bad beer, but not a favorite either. It’s a good brew, just not my type.
