Sockeye Hell Diver Pale Ale

Brewed by Sockeye Brewing
Style: American Pale Ale
Boise, Idaho USA

@Mountain Beerfest-on tap-pours an off white head and copper color. Aroma is citrus hops, medium malt-caramel. Taste is citrus hops-flat/metallic, medium malt-caramel. Mild carbonation.

Amber unfiltered appearance, white head and good lacing. Slight hop smell, couldn’t pick out anything else cuz the asshole sitting next to me started puffing up a storm. Flavors of floral hops and dirty malt. Good but not impressive, even for an average microbrew pale ale this dissapoints. I’ll try it again once this guy dies of lung cancer and get’s out of my favorite brewpub.<P>Update!: He finally died. Nose of crisp cascade hops and light earthy and creamy maltys; caramel is present too. The flavor is balanced with just a touch of hops for the style. The finish is nice and drinkable. Solid pale.

Tried this one for the first time last night. A very typical tasting pale with no surprising attributes to it. I much prefer their IPA.

Amber pour with some red hue small head and some nice lacing. Hops are the biggest thing in the nose, citrus hops that is, and malt. Again hops are all powerful in the flavors, balanced out well with the malts. Tangy palate and light bodied. Good pale ale.

Pours a nice golden orangish color. Aroma is big fruity hops. Flavor of a classic pale, big hop flavor.

Draft: nice medium/dark amber color with a decent white head, nice lacing as well. Sweet malty presence as well as citrus and floral hops. Clean, crisp flavor and very drinkable.

On tap at brewpub pours out a amber topped with a white head. a little hop on it but not to much else going on.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a bright copper color with a large white head. The aroma is full of loads of citrus hops and some earthy malts. A similar flavor; loads of hops leaning towards the citrus side and a earthy malt balance. Nice.
