Schooners Pale Ale

Brewed by Schooners Grille & Brewery
Style: American Pale Ale
Antioch, California USA

Poured a hazy golden orange color with a small off-white head. Hoppy and fruity aroma with citrus and orange notes over a decent caramel base. the was a hoppy flavor from the very start. Citrusy and malty middle. The hops were mostly orange flavored in the middle. Mild bitter finish.

Hand bottled from the brewer. Clear copper color. Big amarillo hop aromas with tons of oranges. Slight malt flavor with a big hop presence. More orange notes in the flavor. More like an imperial pale or a mini IPA.

Comparitively speaking, if you were to throw this one up against some IPA’s, it would beat them every day of the week and twice on Sundays. A piney nose, a dark copper color, clean mouthfeel gives way to a citrusy, hopped up flavor. VERY easy to drink. Definitely recommended.

Very crisp and dry session beer with a moderate hop nose. Very clean palate with no defects, soft pale and crystal malt profile with good balanced bittering. Nice west coast pale.

Small head, nice golden dark coppery color. Some faint smoky aroma. Grapefruit and hoppy flavors

Golden color with a huge hoppy nose. Wonderful hoppy flavor with a nice crispness to it.
