Pony Express Rattlesnake Pale Ale

Formerly brewed at Flying Monkey Brewing
Style: American Pale Ale
Olathe, Kansas USA

Decent aroma but tastewise it’s not very hopped. Notes of dry bread and a little bit of grapefruit but it’s not very complex even by American Pale ale standards. The mouthfeel is alright,medium body and soft carbonation but a little bit of sourness in the end.

Sampled from bottle, a gift frm Dansting. Pours cloudy orange-copper with a mountainous off-white head. Aroma is pleasantly hoppy (floral and citrus). Slightly bitter with a clean finish. Light hops meld nicely with a decent pale malt backbone. Medium-bodied and moderately carbonated. A very enjoyable pale ale.

Pours amber with a thin white head. Smells breaddy with little else popping out. Some minor hoppy notes are detectable, but otherwise this is a watery mess.

Bottle. Dusty amber body, wispy head. Biscuit/cereal malt aroma with light butter. Buttery biscuit flavor with light grapefruit rind hops. Stale finish.

Pours with a light copper color, and a frothy, dirty white head. Good clarity, and some visable carbonation. A bit of lace. Some butterscotch notes. Some baked good character, and ver little in the way of hops. Again, buttery, and cookie-ish. Hardly bitter.. Some astrigency. Not really good.

Gold color, very light tangy hop aroma. Sweetish, caramel malt flavors without enough hops to balance. Bland and macro-brewish.

Bottle: Almost no head. Amber color. Good aroma. Nice taste. Overall an enjoyalbe beer, although its is very light almost like a lager.

Copper. Nose generically hoppy, a few malts. Flavor quite bitter, not particularly in any hop-identifiable sort of way, just bitter, then sweet, no fruit, caramel, or anything that could realistically be referred to as "enjoyable". Generic and boring.
