Hurricane Reef Pale Ale

Brewed by Florida Beer Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Melbourne, Florida USA

pours darker orange. light white head that does not last. sweet caramel / malty mouthfeel. some citrusy overtones. watery aftertaste. maybe a lingering floral tast and aroma. nothing too impressive.

Fair but not great. Pretty nice amber color. Aromas are hops and some malt. Citrus flavors and watery texture. Not that good.

12oz bottle. clear amberish gold w/ thin yellow head. citrus, honey, caramel nose. thin and astringent taste. malt bitter backbone.

Dark golden to light amber color. Caramel, light fruit and just a hint of citric hops aromas. I Keep trying to hind the components that make me wince when I smell an amber and I’m honing in on it with this brew. Something about the fruit, caramel and hops just does not work for me. I’m suddenly smelling a caramel apple with herbs on the outside. Lightly sweet citric start. LIght stomach acid at times. Sourdough and hints of caramel. I’m thinking Caribbean lager with a amber twist.

Drank it out of a plastic cup in my Orlando hotel room...looked a cloudy orange, minimal head. Light hops, slightly yeasty and grapefruity taste. Goes down pretty smooth, low carbination. Nice easy drinking pale ale.

An orange amber with little head. Somewhat odd sour mash, vinegar smell. Better taste with some average hops and a smooth biscuity malt finish. OK, but certainly nothing exciting.

Kinda disappointed in the APA part of this description. Nose is grapefruit/juniper. Syrup taste. No bubbles. Thin to no head. Would do better with a slice of orange. Slightly insulting with its references to the Northwest and appeal to "true connoisseurs". This was suppose to have won a silver medal? What happened? Too bad, was hoping for a better representation from the home state.

This beer is a bright orange color with a bit of cloudiness. There is a burnt aroma with a bit of berries and citrus. The flavor is nice at first but becomes flavorless on the palate shortly after. It starts with a big malt flavor with a bit of citrus but ends with a bit of a metallic flavor.
