Stonefly Mustache Ride Pale Ale

Pours an orange body colour with a pretty large white head. Nice floral aroma followed by plenty of hops. Very citrusy, it starts off a little fruity with flavors of grapefruit, pear and apricot. Ends a little dry.

Served on draught at the Wisconsin Micro-brewers Beerfest in Chilton, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-hazy orange amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head though it does leave some spotty lacing. Aroma of light caramel malt with grapefruit and citrus zest with a touch of banana esters. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with a good balance of caramel malt and citrus hop flavors. Finish is semi-dry with a mild hop bitterness that slowly disappears. A pretty good solid pale ale overall.

Though I’m no fan of pales, this is a pleasant contribution to the genre. Sitting orange and hazed in the glass, with a floral/citrus aroma, the flavor is caramel, citrus and a bit of floral hops that don’t dominate the way you find in some brews of this sort.

Light copper color with a touch of haze.Taller thick heavy head. Floor malt aromas along with a few esters. Straight forward and quite simple,

Sampled last night. The beer was orangish and lightly hazy. A rejuvinatable head sat on top of the beer. This beer reminded me of a friend’s homebrew. Since I know the hops in that, I’m gonna say that this beer was made with similar hops. My guesses are Magnum, Fuggles, and Cascade. Bitter. Citrus. The palate was dry and lightly chalky.
