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

This is an easy-drinking pale ale. Not much pronounced in the flavor, but ok for a light, summer beer.

Bottle. Aroma is hoppy and fruity. Nice bright gold color with large long lasting head. Nice hoppy flavor that is only slightly bitter. Good stuff.

Pours cloudy orange, thick white head. Aroma, hoppy, citrus and grapefruit. Flavor, nice citrus bitterness bite, some greapfruit. Mildly spicy with thin bitter citrus finish. Light subtle notes of caramel malts quickly followed by citrus hops.

Clouded orange haze. Sweet hoppy aroma with sappy scents. Perfumy taste with sweet and bitter hops. Flavorful yet fading. Not bad but loses it’s appeal pretty quickly.

Bottle from Beer Geek. Pours copper with a foamy beige head. Floral/citrus aromas over some roasted malt. Medium bodied with mild carbonation. Swear that beyond citrus there’s a touch of strawberry. Not all that bitter but a good deal of hop. Nice drink.

Pours deep orange with a foamy off-white head. Nose is grapefruit, some floral noble hops, mild spice. Flavor is spicy hops, sweet fruity malt. Full mouth feel. Nice american style British Pale.

Not a bad pale ale. Sweet, hoppy. Pours orange with a small head. Hoppy smell, hoppy taste, but not too strong in either department.

Excellent pale ale. Tastes similar though to Tommyknocker’s wheat ale (which is a good thing). One of my favorites that I have tried so far in my beer tasting adventure.
