Oak Creek Docs Pale Ale

Brewed by Oak Creek Brewing Co.
Style: American Pale Ale
Sedona, Arizona USA

crystal clear copper color with a thin white head. caramel aroma with mild pine and citrus hops. flavor is the same and reminiscent of iced tea. the finish is piney and lingers for a short while. light bodied and rather watery but it’s still creamy when sloshed around a bit. pretty mediocre until it warms...

Served from 12-oz bottle at Morton’s Steakhouse in Scottsdale, AZ. Pours a clear medium copper amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that has some good lacing. Aroma of mostly grapefruit and orange zest, some light caramel malt and some hidden floral. Taste is medium bodied, nicely carbonated with a biscuit and caramel flavor with plenty of orange citrus zest. Finish is slightly semi-sweet, bitter with a lingering orange zest aftertaste.

Draft at the brewery. Dark auburn color with a small head. Nice rich, malty, bready aroma with some bitterness. Flavor’s a little more malty than I expected from the description, although it is well balanced. Really nice, even flavor of caramel, citrus, and pine. Not as overwhelming as I’d expected from the awards it has won, but still a really nice APA.

Copper pour, small white head that fades to nothing. Aroma is floral hops. Flavor is caramel, biscuits and a big floral hop presence and grapefruit. Very drinkable with just a medium-high bitterness and great crispness to it.

clear dark red, big creamy beige head, thick lace, sweet fruity and citrus hop aroma on a caramel malt base, lots of citrus hop flavor, nice caramel sweetness, an over abundance of carbonation, long bitter finish, touch of astrengency that grows to distraction,

Draft at the grill and bar in Sedona at a shopping mall area that I can’t pronounce or spell. Pours amber with a thin white head. Mild aroma, floral hops. Taste is light as well, more hops and some caramel malt. Decent easy drinking beer.

Bottle. Thanks to cbkschubert for sending me this. Poured a golden amber body with thin head. Light aroma of hops, lightly floral scent. Flavor was slightly bitter, some pines, hops and smooth malt. A good Pale Ale.

Amber bottle pour with nice frothy head. Light notes of hops with a touch of roast on the nose. Flavor is citrus and hoppy with malt finally coming on in the end with a a touch of roast. Very watery thin body.
