Middle Ages Syracuse Pale Ale

Brewed by Middle Ages Brewing
Style: English Pale Ale
Syracuse, New York USA

Bottle shared with tupalev. Pours a clear bubbly orange with a small white head. Slightly stale aroma consists mostly of malt, a touch of hops and grain. Flavour follows the aroma, also a little stale. Body’s a little thin. Pretty bland but it’s decent.

Bottle, courtesy of and shared with blankboy. The dud of the night for me. Stale not nice hop aroma. Orange, small white head. Stale bad hop taste, light malt, unbalanced. Harsh. Not very good or enjoyable, especially not after the quality we had tonight.

One bottle from BOTW. One of te ones Patty gave me for B-day present. Almost no head. Mild aroma of malt and hops. Light hops and malt flavor. Average beer. ok

Bottle. Plain and boring. Very watery and almost no hoppiness. Very light bodied. Not impressed.

Bottle: Pours an extremely cloudy orange body with a miniscule head. Aroma and flavor is caramel and light fruits like apricots. Somewhat butterscotchy, but not as much as another of their beers (can’t remember if it was winter or bitter). A litlte too much carbonation here as well. Came off a slightly watery as well. Not bad though.

Headless light clear amber. Diacetyl and soapy buttery hops come out rather orangey. Diacetyl once again is overbearing in mouth, floral, peachy and weak. light bodied, bready malty finish.

Lightly hazed gold amber ale with a thick big bubbled white head. Strong diacetyl nose giving way to a sightly perfumey light hoppy aroma, with fruity ester apple notes. More malty than hoppy, with sweet fruity finish, and a solvent like mouthfeel. Lighter bodied. Bought in November 2004, at the brewery.

A decent offering. Pours an orangey yellow colour with very little in the way of head. Faint hoppy aroma with some caramel as well. Flavour reveals a touch of citrus hops and some moderate malt sweetness. Steady but not great.
