Style: American Pale Ale

http://www.bombombombomwooooo.com/ Seriously. This one is just a harsh and metallic tasting pale ale. Not a pleasant experience.

Copper color...a little hazy. Fluffy head, though it fades pretty fast. Mild citrus aroma. Somewhat of a hop bite in the front, balanced with a subtle malt flavor...crisp mouthfeel. Very peppery flavored hop bitterness hits in the back and lingers throughout the finish. A quite unusual beer...almost tastes off.

Bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours copper with a white head. Smells of citrus, some hints of malt. Tastes bitter and resiny with a peppery finish. Decent.

I liked this more than my contemporaries. Nice amber color with a lasting lacing head. Loaded with hops in the aroma and flavor.

BoTMC Selection October 2008: Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a hazy, amber body, topped by a thin head of white foam. Aroma is a light fragrance of hops. Bitter and dry, the hops attack the taste buds quickly and linger on the sides of the tongue for some time, leaving a bitter, almost metallic aftertaste. This is an unbalanced ale, which wouldn’t be bad if the hops provided a good kind of bitterness, which Peachtree does not.

Kinda a mustiness to this beer that’s off-putting right away. Coats the mouth in a kind of film which is unpleasant. The flavor is okay, with some grapefruit and other citrus flavors, but overall it’s not very good. Dish...soap.

On tap in Atlanta. Poured a clear amber with a thin white head. Aroma of faint malt and floral hops. Flavor was malty with a slight hop finish.

On tap at The Federal, Durham. Light orange color, with a frothy and somewhat creamy head. Nose is faintly malty but mostly sweet, soft, floral hops. The body is fairly thick, although not bready. Clean tasting, easy drinking, not a bad pale ale at all.
