Commercial Description:
Quickly becoming one of our most popular brews. Olde Towne Pale Ale is a delight to all the senses. Crafting this style of ale requires the use of three specialty malts which provides a rich, full-bodied flavor. This maltiness is carefully balanced by the incorporation of "Cascade" and imported English hops ealy in the boil. This combination of malts and hops creates a complex Pale Ale with a wonderful finish. Beer lovers know that aroma, flavor and the finish are crucial to great pale ale. Olde Towne Pale Ale strives to this to you.

(Bottle) Pours a clear copper body with a small white head. Aroma of caramel, toasted bread, light florals, and some soapiness. Flavor of caramel malt, nuts, and toasted oats.

Originally reviewed back on 12/14/04. Received 3.5 score. Added to my RB list to check "Alabama" as a beer state consumed. Looks sloppy, but the taste tries its best to make up for it. Aromas of some grapefruity goodness with a touch of crisp earthy hops too. Nice flavor, but a thin feel.

Aroma has dill and sour yeast. Hops and grass in the flavor, as well as more sourness. All of their products were infected. It does look good anyway.

The last one that is "courtesy" of Brentfreesh. Murky yellow color with no head. Aroma of oranges and a musty barn that hasn’t been used in a century. Tastes like sour oranges that have sat outside most of the summer.

Another badgerben bottle - thanks for sharing. Hazy yellow body with a faint white head. Sour dill on the nose. Grainy body with mor of that sour dill flavor. I don’t think the dill was supposed to be there but it did work.

12oz bottle-pours a white head and hazy gold color. Aroma is some pine-hops, medium malt. Taste is bitter, earthy/flat/some pine-hops, medium malt. Comes across as a bitter with additional (English) hops. The first half, mellows/balances better than the second half. OK carbonation.

From a 12-oz bottle shared by badgerben, pours a clear golden orange brew with a quickly dissolving off-white head. Aroma has citrus peel, vinegar and a touch of grapefruit. Taste is highly carbonated, very acidic and metalic flavor with a sour aftertaste. Finish is sour with more vinegar character. This beer (like the previous three) has been infected. For a Flemish style sour brown ale, this beer would receive a higher rating, but not as a pale ale.
