Tommyknocker Pick Axe Pale Ale

Brewed by Tommyknocker Brewery
Style: English Pale Ale
Idaho Springs, Colorado USA

Sprucey caramel aroma, lightly sprinkled with cat urine. Bad label, light bronze beer. Doughy, pasty citrus flavor with late over-brewed hop bittering. Very lightly sweet. Nothing special here. Finish is a bit vacant.

nice hoppy flavor that has a delectible lifecycle. Not sweet or yeasty like obvious beers. The hop flavor orbits your palet finishing without bitterness or dryness, despite the 6% alcohol stats. Nice change from sweet beers.

This is Unquestionably TommyKnockers paramount beer.

Pours a nice copper body and a tall white head. The aroma is where I found admiration. The dry-hopping really shows up here with a fresh burst of aromatic pine like spiciness. The body is lightly biscuity and toasty, but the hops kind of overtakes that with the lingering citric bitterness. The palate is somewhat lacking but still a pretty nice AMERICAN Pale Ale overall.

Cloudy orange with a brown tint and a creamy white head. Aroma is citrus, grapefruit, orange, and pine. Flavor starts with grassy/pine hops then switches to sweet citrus, then goes back to a dry hop finish. Grapefruit and pine are quite dominant in the flavor.

Copper color. Mild hop bitter nose. Nothing to speak of. A crispy bread waffer malt taste throughout. Lively feel. Medium body. Bitter in the end. Finish is sweet.

Poured with a cloudy light amber color. The head was slightly off white. The aroma was soapy with some oranges. There was also some light flowers. The taste had some grapefruit along with a little bit of toffee. There was a strong grapefruit finish. More hops than I expected. There is also a little bit of bread crust. A decent EPA.

Hazy amber, thin head, pretty strong hoppy grapefruit tasting bite, some roastiness, but big hoppy bit.

Not an English Pale Ale at all intead a standard western US Pale Ale. Nothing that is outstanding but drinkable. It’s not a SNPA but in the same genius.
