Monte Carlo Jackpot Pale Ale

Formerly brewed at Monte Carlo Brewpub at the Monte Carlo Casino
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Las Vegas, Nevada USA

Mild hoppy character, slightly floral, with good hit of toffee-caramel sweetness. Dusty grain and dirty orange rinds. Light cooked vegetable aroma. Hazy medium amber, with thin pale wispy head. Mild lacing. Medium watery body with medium-heavy carbonation. Starts with slight sweet malts, toffee and caramel. Decent hop bitterness but has some chalky astringency. Bit of diacetyl. Nutty dry finish with chalky after. Can’t quite place the characteristics, but reminds me a lot of several of the French microbrews from Bretagne. Not quite an IPA in my opinion, more like an American Pale.

Nice light amber color. For a pale ale, the taste is very subdued, like all the other Monte Carlo varieties I tried at the brew pub. Soft hops bitterness with a slightly over sweet aftertaste. This beer probably wouldn’t please the hard core IPA fans, but I rate it very drinkable.

Clear orange with good lacing and average head. Aromas of citrus. Flavor of hops - could use more balance, did feel good on pallate however.

clear golden with a slight hoppy aroma. taste is pretty mellow, some hop finish but dry palate. starting to think monte carlo beers are trying to appeal to the average person off the street, creating nothing bad but nothing above average.

Get this ON TAP different than in bottle. I will rate tap version. Copper gold in color rich malt medium head nice medium hoppy graasy nose amlty flavor with carmel long finish

Sightly off sour aroma with some stinky feet. Cloudy copper in color, fast disappearing head. There is a tingly bitterness on the tongue, and lemon in th after taste, but the taste is all malt, sweet and apple, with the lemon left in the throat a few second later. Back to the drawing board please. Thanks for the sample Larry.

Gold/copper with a white head. Smells lightly grassy and citrussy. No real developed hop profile. Tastes like something thrown together without thinking too carefully about what hop varieties produce what aroma/taste.

Poor attempt for an IPA. Somewhat of a meedium hop aroma. Orange color body with a head that was gone in 15 seconds. Flavor was of mild bitterness and water even stale to a point. But thanks to the visitor that was kind enough to bring some brews with her over thanksgiving.
