Schmohz Pail Ale

Brewed by Schmohz Brewing Co.
Style: American Pale Ale
Grand Rapids, Michigan USA

Bottle. A clear dark amber color body with a small frothy white head , a nice ring of lace left behind , lots of big carbonation bubbles . Aroma of light pine resin and a hint of cloves ? . Flavor of some fruit , maybe apple skins piny hops and a good but slightly dusty pale malt. clean , but slightly watery mouthfeel ,light body , light bitterness with a nice little hoppy finish . Quite sessionable and pretty good . I am finding that I seem to favor Schmohz bottled offerings more than from a growler , nice to see this stuff at my local beer store , a nice local option for drinking.

Bottle - Part of an assorted 6 pack from Super Liquor in Coldwater, MI. Pours a nice looking amber color. Big frothy white head. Nice lacing. Interesting fruity aroma. Unfortunately the taste doesn’t match. I’m not a huge Pale Ale fan and this one didn’t turn me. Just a little on the weak side. It has a bitterness to it, but the moutheel isn’t that intense. Just a little weak to be considered a stong brew. Still it does have a crisp finish so not a bad one to try.

Im not sure what was going on here. Amber pour with a white head. Mostly caramel with some dry hop extract in the nose. Flavor is pretty boring, kind of sweet and lightly hoppy. Nothing too special.

On tap at Schmohz Brewing Company. Amber with a thin off-white head than leaves some lace. Aroma of pine, citrus and malt, though not too overpowering. Taste of pine, sweet malt and some citrus. Mostly balanced with a dry mild bitter finish.

On tap at Schmohz. Hazy orange body, thin to medium off-white head. Piney, citrusy hops aroma backed by bready malt. Body as expected, hop-dominated but backed by sufficient malt depth to carry the citrus and pine. Bitter finish. Quaffable.

Bottle. I liked the bitter hop aftertaste, but the rest of the brew was very average. Nice amber color for a pale ale.

poured from a bottle!!!!! (i know ur just as excited to here about the bottling)...clean and crisp aroma with a perfect sugar/hop complex that is very typical yet refreshing for a pale..grassy, piney flavor with a smaller, more refined malt finish..slightly bitter and dry; very nice

Draft sample at brewpub. Poured clear amber color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium bitter flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. Good, but not a standout.
