Swashbuckler Plank Walkers Pale Ale

Brewed by Swashbuckler Brewing Company
Style: English Pale Ale
Manheim, Pennsylvania USA

Pours light copper color with a thin white head. Smell of citrus and slight caramel malt notes. Taste is mostly citrusy with some malts coming through in the short lived but pleasent aftertaste. NIce but not that powerful a taste.

Draft at PARenFaire. Deep copper color with citric, hoppy, and tropical fruit aroma. Good initial hop burst, matched by tropical fruit and some citrus. Medium palate.

On tap PA Ren Faire: Citrus, piney aroma. Flavor is much the same with some malt. Good hop kick in the finish.

On tap at the PA Renaissance Faire. Served in a platic cup. Poured an amber color with an off white head. Aromas oranges, grapefruit and some pine. Tastes of grapefruit, pine, oranges and light caramel. Medium bitter with a nice hoppy finish. Thinner body.

Draft at the Renaissance Faire, which I think is the only way to get this fine beer. As someone else said. You get this in a plastic cup. A good however. Not a dixie cup. This is a good pale ale. I would call this an APA however not an EPA. Nice dry hop bite to it. Almost an West Coast feel.

Tap @ PA Renn Faire. Poured a brilliant bronze topped by a frothy white head with minimal lacing. Malty aroma predominates with hints of hops and lemongrass. Straight-up hop tang that left my taste buds tingling. Not a bad IPA for such a small and relatively unknown brewpub. Just don’t let this one warm up on you…drink fast!
