Pike Naughty Nellies Ale

Bottle. Amber-gold beer with a thin off-white head. Citrus hop aroma and flavor. Some malt backing. Slightly thin body. Nothing special.

Bottle. Really a rather boring ale. The establishment I had this at listed it as an IPA so there may be some letdown there. Lightly constructed. Clear, golden. Decent head. Aroma of light malt and some floral notes. Light bodied. Blended OK for an ale, not IPA. Probably a good choice for a session ale, not one to end the night of drinking with. Fair.

Oooh, who. Flavor tasty. Good to go. I like this, and its flowering bang-nattishyness. Wonderful.

Clear golden appearance. Fresh hop, pineapple/lemon aroma. Lightly spiced hoppy tropical fruit flavor, mild in the finish. Nice respectable refresher.

This beer pours a light golden/orange color with a thin white fizzy head and basically zero lacing. The aroma is faint at best with light hops, floral citrus, and hints of sweet malts, not much to it. The flavor is light to medium bodied, somewhat sticky in nature and finish, and generally boring. Bitter mid-sip followed by that classic 2 row malt sweet finish...very faint sweetness, somewhat bready in the finish with a hint of cottonmouth. Hints of orange tang and citrusy florals, but nothing I’d classify as truly interesting. Carbonation levels are light.

Bottle. Pours a light orange color. Aroma consists of malts and a little bit of hops. Slightly sweet. Some hops going on with an odd tasting sweetness.

On tap @ Pike: ClearGolden with medium white head. Sweet caramely malts with slight floral hops. A lingering bitterness but not bracingly so.

Fruity nose, toffe and butter hints; pears, grapefruit; initially sweet, full of caramel, ends a tad dry and bitter with musty hopping; nice balance, decent brew
