Commercial Description:
Juniper Pale Ale. A popular light offering characterized by a “gin” bite and flavor and a floral aroma. Yakima valley finishing hops and juniper berries are utilized to create a medium to light bodied golden ale with a crisp finish. Enjoy it under a pine tree. Meant for chicken, salad, or as a counterpoint to a cream sauce.

Tap at the brewery. My favorite from these guys. The body was deep gold to amber. The aroma was berries with some grapefruit. The taste was bitter grapefruit with a little bit of blueberry. A sweet finish.

Smells a bit like Gin, was one might expect. also has just a touch of juniper flavor at first, before morphing into a more traditional Pale Ale finish. Rather uniqu and enjoyable, would make a good session ale. Sampled at 2008 open house.

Pours with a heavy haze. Bubblegum esters are evident in the aroma. Very much like a hefeweizen, but several of the brewery’s beers were showing some noticeable yeasty esters.

On tap at the brewery 5/31/08: Pours a cloudy golden with a spotty-lacing froth of white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale malts and some floral piny juniper notes. Has an average fullness with a light toasty pale sweetness and a drier finish. Pretty well-balanced, unique and quite drinkable.

Draft sample at brewery. Slight hazed golden with a white head that settled to a ring and left light lace. Floral aroma with light pine. The flavor found more floral and pine with a light backing of citrus and malt. Light to medium body and light bitterness.

Appearance: Pours an exceptionally cloudy, turbid, gold body with a small, fizzy, white head. Smell: Pale malts and a vague wheat cracker character. Mild juniper note in the slightly yeasty scent. Taste: Pale malts with a slight sugary sweetness. Again, I can’t shake that tangy wheaty taste. Fruity, with delicate tastes of peach and apple juices. Hint of juniper. Light citrus hops with a restrained bitterness. Crispy, floral finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: It’s alright.

Brewpub sample. Poured cloudy gold with a lacing white head. Aroma is sweet, floral, and pine. Taste is a little hoppy, with plenty of pine and floral notes, as with the aroma. Another unique brew from Moccasin. Body is middle of the road, with average carbonation. Finish is sweet and a little bitter.
