Redfish Big Easy Pale Ale

Sampler at the Redfish New Orleans Brewhouse, Boulder 12/10/2008 Floral and some hop aroma. Small white head. Golden coloured and hoppy with a citrus fruit flavour. Smooth on the palate with a crisp and dry malt finish.

On tap at the brewhouse, bright golden color, with an off-white head, sweet honeyed pale malt, fruity apple nose with a mild peachy floral hop accent with some light citrus and grapefruit aromas follow through on a medium-bodied palate with a toasty malt, flowery hop fruity character of mild citrus, with some grassy, leafy, coniferous notes, leading towards a sweet malty, fruity candied lemon peel, hop leafy bitterness finish.

Draught at Redfish Brewpub. Clear amber - white head. Light hoppy, fruity, bitterness, soapy, citrus, light watery, light malty, light sweetness, nice hoppy. OK.

Draught. Low but lasting off-white head. Clear golden body. Mild barley malt aroma with a bit of lemon. Sweet and just a little hops bitterness. Low carbonation and a short aftertaste.

Tap @ brewpub. Clear golden color, short head. Aroma of grassy hop. Bit dry and bitter taste. Boring.

Tap @ Redfish: Poured a hazy amber color with an off-white head. Citrusy and pine aroma with some caramel. The flavor was citrusy and earthy with an earthy bitter finish. Some malt in the middle. Semi-dry with a light to medium body.

On tap at the brewpub on 10/14/07: Clear golden yellow with a wispy-lacing thin white head. Aroma of semi-sweet pale grainy malt with some grapefruity hops. Body has decent fullness with a lightly sweet pale maltiness and good fresh grapefruity hoppy balance. A decent pale ale.

cloudy dark copper, wispy beige head, light sweet crystal malt aroma with light floral hops, well balanced citrus hop flavor on a crystal malt base, just enough sweetness from the malt to balance a lasting bitter finish,
