May 17, 2007 (Sampler at the brewpub) Pelican Pale has a a pale straw color with a very thin white head. The aroma is bright and flowery and of pale malt. The body borders on medium light. It’s supple and dusty. The flavor is of fresh citrus (grapefruit) and pine. Yes! It tastes like California!

Jan 14, 2009 Light and crisp, with toasty highlights and hop depth, including piney and citrus overtones. Excellent session beer that has a distinct west coast profile without the "bigness" (aka, alcohol content).

Aug 3, 2008 Draught at the brewpub. Dark gold-light amber with lasting foam. Pretty light aroma, with subtle yet distinct hops that you would expect in a west coast pale ale. The flavor has a pleasant toasty maltiness, balanced by nice hop flavor that is a little grapefruit peel and a little herbal pine. Medium bodied with smooth carbonation. Quite drinkable, pretty tasty, pretty average, but good balance. Not exactly adventurous, but you couldn’t go wrong with it.

Mar 29, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. 6 oz. sampler. Honey/straw color, sticky white head leaves ample lacing. Aroma is lightly malty with prominent floral hoppiness. Taste is also hop-centric, with a piny bitterness and a modest pale malt profile for balance. Typical medium-thin body and high carbonation, easy to drink.

Oct 11, 2005 Updated: Oct 12, 2005The Pelican is a fine APA on its own. For me it served as a palate cleanser between the Cocoa Brown and the Blur. Typical West Coast style APA. Pelican went very well with Seabright’s Buffalo wings.
