Sierra Blanca Pale Ale

Brewed by Sierra Blanca Brewing Co
Style: American Pale Ale
Moriarty, New Mexico USA

Deep copper to light amber color, pours with a tanish head and it is brilliantly clear. Aroma of caramel malts, perhaps a hint of roasted malt as well. A nice bitterness to this beer, finishes with a hint of diacetyl. Lightly malty sweet, not much hop flavor though. Fairly average pale ale, it needs a bit more oomph somewhere.

Pours copper with thin a thin white hide. Hops, slightly musky, sweet nose. Hoppy, slight butter flavors. Nothing too exciting about this pale.

Pours a pellucid bronze color with a sticky looking head and little lacing. Aroma has lots of diactyl [again] but with hints of musky hop. Flavor is also sweet and buttery with not much hops shining through. Tastes very similar to their nut brown but with less of a body. Not bad tasting, don't get me wrong, but as a homebrewer I don't see diactyl as a good thing.

Fairly middle of the road APA. Standard yeast and hop flavors. Overall it's good -- a little sweet.

Amber color, some hops in the nose. Medium bodied, but a bit bland (British styled, indeed--cask-condition it, send it to CAMRA and watch them proclaim it another Champion Beer of Britain). Certainly nothing offensive, a good six pack to enjoy a game with. Thanks to Eric (tannertavernboys) for hooking me up with the NM beers...

light clear amber with a little head. The smell is hoppy with an "all purpose" fruity smell ala fruit loops. the flavor is of british malts, nuts and pine, redolent of a light piney brown ale. a bit thin

Aroma of sweetness, all-purpose fuit, and hoppiness. Some Britishesque smells i.e. brown ale. Nice amber color. Flavor is sweet up front, nicely nutty in the middle iwth a sweet, slightly hoppy finish.

Clear medium oragne. British malt-syrup aroma. Lightly hoppy, some pine and scotch. Nutty flavor with an even palate with some slight hop bitterness in the finish. An above average APA. Thanks to TannerTavernboys for the trade.
