Highland St. Tereses Pale Ale

Brewed by Highland Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Asheville, North Carolina USA

12oz. Bottle. Clear light orange in color with a dissipating white head and a little lacing. Nice citrus hop aroma. Nice hop flavor with a good malt background. It’s a little thin in body but overall very well made pale.

Reddish amber/gold color. Fully dissipating thin white head. Green citrus hop aroma... Centenniel-like with perfume. Light though. Taste is a bit of the same with decent caramelly malt and some fruit cocktail... seems like a homebrew IPA to me.

peach color. medium sized white foamy head. very light bodied. light perfumy hop aroma. citrus, peach hop flavor. i enjoy how mild and light this beer is but still flavorful.

Golden color, faint nose of citrus. Smooth, goes down easily, would make a nice session ale on a sunny afternoon. Thanks Drew.

Gift from Aurelius - thanks! 12 oz bottle - Pours a light copper with a thin white head - dissipates quickly. Fresh, fruity, somewhat sprucey aroma. Flavor has some subtle citrusy notes with some underlying nectarine-like fruitness. Good malty back end with some nuttiness provides good balance. Finish turns form fruity to a solid subtle bitterness that is enjoyed immensely. Mouthfeel is thick and creamy. Have been impressed what I have had from this brewer thus far.

Initially, the aroma was a sprucey hop assault - then it softened to the familiar candied APA toffee. Orange, clear, big head. Decent label, good cap. Flavor is pretty standard APA - lots of western hops, semi-sweet orange candy. Goes a little sweet and watery towards the bottom of the glass as it warms. Body is medium. A somewhat doughy finish, with a final turn towards orange soda. Technically, very good and also very drinkable. I’ve not had a bad brew from Highland yet, and even though this isn’t my favorite style, I could still drink it for an extended session.

Bottle. Pours an orange color with a little white head that quickly dissipated. The aroma was floral, fruity (apple sauce and apricots), some citrus, and grassy. The flavor had sweet malts, oranges, and some floral hints. Light, dry, and crisp. Another enjoyable one from Highland!

2005 bottle from Suttree, consumed on 12/17/2005. Lots of sediment on the bottom. Plenty of carbonation rises through a copper-golden, highly polished brass body. White head immediately dissipates to a ring.. Dry cascade nose, leafy and grapefruity with soft flowers and light pale malts. Touch of apple and hay in the nose too. Almost like there are a goldings in the boil too, or just stale cascades. . .
Flavor is fruity (peaches, apples, apricots) with light citrus blending in to the mix while a lightly sweet pale malt sugariness soflty balances. Light hop bitterness grows and then clears with the help of a lightly spritzy, but fairly tight carbonation. Texture is smooth, minimal filtration effects and fairly substantial despite the fact that the malt only gives a medium body overall. Apples, pears and lemons linger on the fniish. Little to no yeast apparency, no alcohol apparency. Second half of the bottle adds more sugars, less hops and, with the carbonation settling out, provides for a very delicate and drinkable experience. Yeast plays little to no role in the flavor, but adds a light chewiness to the texture. Retro grapefruit and minor yeastiness (b-vitamins).
