Commercial Description:
A classic English Pale Ale dominated by pleasant hop bitterness and aroma. Dry hops impart unique aromas and flavors that add to the complexity of this ale. Our Pick Axe uses a blend of hopping: British Columbia Bramling, Czech Saaz, and British East Kent Goldings which melds into an award winning flavor. 1997 & 2000 Great American Beer Festival Silver Medal Winner

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and slightly hazy orange color with a large sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, juicy oranges and a little sugary. Tastes of caramel and citrus with a spicy finish. Lively body.

Pours a nice orangeish yellow(Hazy) with a small white head. Has a sweet caramel aroma to it with a hint of hops.Taste of caramel malts and a touch of hops and lots of bitter. The body is a little thin though.

This one is smooth at first with a bitter aftertaste. Smells sweet. The head is foamy but quickly dissolves. Cool graphic. Cloudy look. The alcohol is noticeable.

Straight forward serviceable Pale Ale that is textbook in crafting. Good balance of malt and hops, with a nice dry finish.

A pretty clean copper pour. The aroma is malt and a hint of hos. A sweet malt flavor that gives way to a good hops bitter. The palate is almost slick or thick. The carbonation reminds me of a homebrew that is a day away from being bottle conditioned. I really like the carbonation in this beer. A good beer bottom line.

There’s a slight haze to the otherwise bright amber body of this beer, while an off-white head holds long and fades in rocky chunks above. Hopcit, lemon and pine aroma, the nose at first comes off as an APA. As it warms, the hops become more defined and I can pick out the Saaz over the EKG. Flavor finds a flavorful, citric bitterness in front of a steady malt backbone. Peppery notes linger in a dry finish.

Poured a opaque orangey amber from the bottle with a small amount of white head. Mild citrus and hop aroma with just a hint of malt. Initial flavor is sugary and malty and the bitterness of the hops come in at the very end on the tongue. Heavy mouth feel and slightly oily on the tongue. Again, a refreshing beer from Tommyknocker.

Ahh, everything i expect from a solid Pale Ale. Well balanced (though a tad too hoppy). Nice all around flavor.
