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

pretty decent pale ale, has a nice hop aroma to it, decent body with a nice bit of a hop taste to it.

Very nice ale. Hops in the aroma dominate. Taste is more complex. Starts a bit sweet and ends very bitter. Very dry in the mouth leaves you wanting another.

Very nice. Lots and lots of citrusy hops on the nose, same in the flavor. Pretty yummy overall, but the finish turns stale. Still, pretty damn aight.

Pours copper color with small head that dissipates immediately. Great hoppy aroma with strong grapefruit backing. Pretty good flavor, nice balance of the citrus hops and a somewhat sweet backing. Has a sticky palate. Enjoyable brew.

This was the most palatable from the sampler pack. I would actually try this one again if it was available on tap.

Bottle. Copper color, big white head. Peppery hop nose and flavor with some honey and spicy notes. Finishes with a nice sharp bite and leaves little residual flavor in the mouth. This one seems to be the best sessionable beer from this rather average brewery.

Pours a hazy medium coppery color from a 12 oz bottle. Aroma of hops, a bit of grapefruits, ocean water. Flavour muck of the same, lovely, yet balanced bitterness. end taste comes across as Scottish moor grasses, pretty damn good beer, would love to try on tap.

I liked this beer. It had a real nice finish, dry and slightly bitter. It had great balance with the right enough bite. Very good pale ale.
