Commercial Description:
Malt and hops are beautifully married in this full-bodied, copper-red Pale Ale. Red Seal Ale is generously hopped in the traditional manner for a long, spicy finish.

Bottle.Beautiful red amber color. Aroma is really fruity with hints of citrus. Flavor is pretty fruity with a bitter and nice finish.

Vigorous pour results in a cloudy orange beer, with a large but quickly receeding ivory head. Highly hopped aroma, typical of the style. Flavor is nearly all sweet hops, with almost no malt profile. Palate is thick and smooth, but finishes far too dry, leaving me longing for a glass of water. Overall a drinkable, albeit unrefreshing Pale. Not at the top of my list.

A sweeter rendition of a West Coast Pale Ale. A great drinker, and a great deal from Trader Joes.

Pretty cinnamon color; decent lace results from the half-inch fawn lather. A punch of grapefruit, pineapple, and peach PNW hops in the nose, plus boiled potatoes, ryebread, and bayleaf… all marred by a jagged sour milk twang. Brisk, fruity, resiny flavor… light pignola and buttery caramel… extremely mild, chocolately bitterness. Light, smooth palate, fluffy with carbonation. Pinetree and hominy aftertaste. Average.

Bottle (Õllesummer 2008, Tallinn) - Copper coloured with a foamy head. Enticing aroma with hops and grapefruit with some biscuity malt. The taste is nice and hoppy although not overwhelmingly so. Grapefruit and digestive biscuits in the taste along with some spicy malt notes. Enjoyable.
