Commercial Description:
MIGHTY ARROW Pale Ale provides lots of pleasurable sniffs from Amarillo and Cascade hops with a fetching honey malt base. This is our brewed tribute to Arrow, Kim’s Aussie/Border Collie mix who ran (literally) New Belgium for 12 years. When she wasn’t patrolling the brewery grounds, she was famous for her office visits: She never met a tummy rub she didn’t like. Atta girl Arrow.

Fresh tasting. Smells strongly of flowery hops, but not overly bitter taste.crisp and refreshing. It’s a shame it’s only available seasonally. Wish I could have this more often.

Very clear gold, lumpy white froth has a sandy texture and good retention. Attractive lace. Dank, citric/grapefruit hop aroma; some pine and lychee. Flavor is the same with some toasty malt, baby corn, and a Pinotage smokiness. Nuances of lavender soap, pineapple juice and iodine. Average mouthfeel. Tingly herbal aftertaste hints at sagebrush and chopped sumac. I’d prefer it to be a little more crisp and a lot less funky. Interesting. Extra point for being a tribute to mans’ best friend.

Bottle. Good floral aroma. Golden body with good white head and good cover of lacing left on glass. Flavor was rather light but on the finish a grassey lemon flavor was present and that dry hop bitter aftertaste on the palate. Beer seemed to have a lot going on interesting brew.

Bottle from South Bay Drugs: Crystal clear gold with a fluffy topping of foam was created from a most generous pour. Nose hints to suggestions of grassy hops and a perfect background of malt. The flavor is subdued and a bit on the bland side, although still maintaining a bitter hop bit that will last for the session of a six pack.

not a bad pale ale, and not much to boast about either. It’s light bodied and hoppy, but doesn’t present any of the boldness of many superior like-brews. Good hop aroma, bland golden color, citrus notes also in flavor.

Think of a hoppier Fat Tire but a lighter body. Not as malty or nutty. Very good. Very drinkable. I would have preferred just a bit more hoppy. Nice aroma like Fat Tire.

Bottle. Pours a golden color with a decent, foamy white head. Taste is of hops, citrus, grass, pine and some malt. Similar aroma. Has a nice slightly creamy mouthfeel. Easy to drink, refreshing and quite enjoyable. Worth picking up again.

Gold pour with a thin white head. Nose is fresh citrusy hops and malts. Not bad on the palate with a fairly light hoppy with a slightly bitter finish. Not bad for a session beer.
