Lafayette Prophets Rock Pale Ale

On tap at the brewpub. Aroma is a dead yeast and skanky-ass stale bread. Pours a hazed out cloudy amber. No head. Flavor is gross. Dead old caramels, rotting grain, dead yeast trub and some tomato paste. This beer needs help. Finishes in a dusty hop rot and some light weird spice. Gross.

on tap-pours a white head that laces and yellow/gold color. Aroma is light citrus/slight pine hops. Taste is light citrus-grapefruit/slight pine hops-some bitter, secondary medium malt-caramel. Semi dry finish.

Yellow to orange color with minimal head. Orange hop aroma. Sweet malt in the middle with stronger hops at the finish.

This pours a light brass body with a dinkus white head that soon fades to nothing. The light aroma holds sweet grainy malts balanced by grapefruit and pine. This is somewhat watery, but the hops manage to become more pronounced in the flavor. Over all, it needs more bite and less water.

On tap at LBC. Poured a small sized white creamy and smooth head with fine-small sized bubbles that mostly dissipated. This beer was softly carbonated, transparent with a yellow hue. All I could detect in the nose was hops. The flavor was lightly bitter and lightly hoppy. This beer did have good lacing on the sides of my glass. A very light APA in my opinion.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a medium sized head of fine to medium sized white colored long lasting bubbles that left behind a good lacing. The body was a softly carbonated transparent yellow orange brown colored and the aroma was a mild malt hop one. The mouth feel was tingly at the start then mellowed in the finish with a mild hop bite. The flavor was a mild malt hop and I found myself commenting that this was not a strong APA representing the style as it lacked the hop bite.

Not much of a nose, but it did have a grain, yeast, bitter flavor. More malt flavors in the end. A buzz, lively mouth feel. Looks like tarnished copper.
