Town Hall Alpine Pedaler

Brewed by Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery
Style: Amber Ale
Minneapolis, Minnesota USA

I’ve been sitting on this rating for some time; from the previous ratings looks like since February. Glad to be the 10th rating which will put it on the map. Strong alcohol aroma with sweet fruit. Clear, slightly hazy amber with no visible carbonation. Thin, off-white head. No lace. Small head. Initial mouthfeel is bready and thin for a Belgian style. Doughy. Improves as it warms. Tastes a little like a rye beer. I detect notes of vanilla, raisin, melon and heather. Malty. Not bad, though lacks some depth.

Tap. Medium golden. Earthy hops, mellow esters. Yeast signature reminds me of Whit Labs Bastogne yeast signature. Mellow malts, medium sweet, with a nice finish. Fat Tire’s got nothing on this. I wouldn’t throw this out of bed for eating crackers.

Nothing Belgian about this. Aroma is sort of weird honey and flowers, with bad burnt hair. Light red with no head. Light bitter flavor; flavor of a bitter describes it fairly. Light body. One of their less impressive beers.

Copper Coloring wtih Offwhite Head. Fruit and Grains in the Nose. ..Although that Hardly Describes What You Actually Smell. Very Unique in Smell and Taste. On the Tongue, Fruit and Some Grainy Flavors Can be Derived, but Whatever Yeast They Used Seems to be the Dominant Flavor Here. It’s Extremely Similiar to Another Beer I’ve Had, I Know This Flavor, but Alas, After Sampling So Many Beers, One’s Memory Fails. Very Thin Bodied. Goes Down Almost Too Easy. Light Dry Aftertaste. An Enjoy it or Hate it Brew.

Bright and clear orange with a small off-white foam unlasting to a skinny collar. Lacing is loose and drippy with very minimal spotting deciding to stick. Aroma is clean and yeasty sweet with sugared fruit candy and nice floral notes. Has a finely tuned wheat malt snappyness within its sweet side adding a bit of fresh bread dough. Taste is clean and crispy with a well rounded pale wheat malt base bringing in a doughy center thats surrounded by a light sugared candy goodness. Topical floral hop notes dance to and fro. Drys out daintifully with a feathery flower petal texture. Feel is clean and crisp, crunchy almost at first, carbonation is fairly active but the malt plays out well here rounding it out with a doughy sweetness thats ever forward within its quenchingly easy medium body. An easy going Belgian styled brew with a subtle course of flavor and action that can tend to grow on you. A well crafted little treat.

Copper color with a thin head. Slightly fruity aroma. Strong grains in the taste, but clean. More like a... baker’s shop than the grain silo. Slight fruit which I think is apricot. Bitter finish. Tasty session.

From a sampler glass, appearance is it’s biggets strength - clear dark amber, average head. Smells of herbs/grass hemp perhaps? Also subtle aroma of black jelly beans. Flavor was light bitter and short in duration, seemed watery. Light body, thin texture.

had at town hall brewery on it’s release date. came with a small head on it’s clear amber body, lacing was spare. aroma was of light malt with an herbal twist. couldn’t help but be reminded of ’hemp’ the more i smelled. flavor was light and thin, vanilla notes, softly carbonated with a slight metalic finish. enjoyable.
