James Page Voyageur Extra Pale Ale

Brewed by Stevens Point Brewery
Style: American Pale Ale
Stevens Point, Wisconsin USA

Color is a clear amber, head is small and white. Aroma is sweet and soft and fruity, full of peaches and melons, among more. Texture is airy and light. Hops are actually quite quiet and make little presence upon the palate. Balance is bright and fine, nicely rounded, malt is sweet, but, sorry, when you put it all together, it's rather run of the mill. Swwet, but short finish. Tasty and nice and pleasant, but lacking the hoppiness that would have made it thoroughly appealing. The fruitiness is bright and sunny, but this pale ale is really lacking in body and texture. I do like it okay, but see no reason to pick it up again, when Summit EPA is everywhere you look around here.

Bottle pours golden with a minor milky white head.   Light carbonation, so-so lacing.   Aroma is somewhat odd, seems to have a bit of smoke.   Up front its very light, definitely a mild APA.   Finish is somewhat malty along with light bitterness.   Nothing really fancy about this one.   Seems almost watered down for an APA.   Thanks goes out to BierBauch for the trade!

Interesting combination of malts and hops but I didn't quite appreciate it. Somehow it just had an unpleasant touch and a slightly watery mouthfeel.

A solid american version of the IPA. Has the hop bite not quite as strong as the NW versions

This beer formed a small sized ivory head with fine-medium sized bubbles that quickly diminished. The body was hazy and softly carbonated with a copper hue. The nose was hoppy and sweet with a sweet and mildly hoppy flavor. The mouthfeel was somewhat tingly and fairly smooth. This was a medium bodied beer in my opinion with sparse lacing.

This bottled brew from SlikWily poured a medium sized head of off-white colored finely sized long lasting bubbles that left behind a carbonated hazy light brown colored boy and a poor lace. The aroma is mildly hopped and the mouthfeel is tingly from the hops initially, but soo disappeears in the finish. The flavor is a medium hoppy one with mild caramel notes.

Sparkling clear, amber ale with a small, fizzy, off-white head. No retention or lacework. Malty nose with notes of caramel and toffee, dried apricot and chicken broth. Well-balanced flavor with shots of caramel and tangy, bitter hops. Medium-bodied and chewy with a silky mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish.

Slight hop aroma. Almost an amber/orange color to the body. Slight malt flavor with not a great deal of hop flavor. An easy drinking brew, but nothing outstanding.
