Harper Hill DosOkies Oildale Pale Ale

Formerly brewed at Harper Hills, Oildale Winery
Style: Pale Lager
Bakersfield, California USA

why is this categorized as a pale lager? It says pale ale, and it just might be, though it would be the lightest pale ale I’ve ever tasted. It poured disgustingly yellow and smelled of must, hay, and a touch of fruit...tasted extremely light with faint wispers of fruit and grass...the 1st 5 of my six pack were dissapointing, but i saved the last for today whilst i paint my kitchen and I it was surprisingly refreshing. So, my recommendation to you is go in with very low expectations and you will be pleasantly content.

You almost need sunglasses when pouring this bright yellow beer. ZERO head. Citrus aromas that if you were blindfolded, you would think it’s a hefe. Taste is bananas along with a gentle maltiness. I don’t care for this. Way too light. Tastes a bit like honey also.

Nice straw color,small white head that faded fast leaving little behind.Lightly malty aroma with a decent amount of hops showing up.Nice maild flavor of malt and hops with a light fruit attempt thrown in possibly lemon but it seems a bit more orangey to me.The finish is mildly hoppy.Not a bad brew,in fact quite interesting in some ways.A very decent lawnmower brew to be sure.Thanks to Enniskillenkid for sending this brew my way.

Watery, very light, slightly noticable hops, slightly malty finish, thin last creamy head, not horrible, actually not too bad, I guess it’s just not hot enough right now to make this a decent beer. Might be nice in the Bakersfield sun.
