Town Hall Centennial Pale Ale

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

Citrusy aroma. Nothing unusual for the style. Not overly hoppy, but pretty decent. Light in color. Almost all of the beers at TH are good; this one didn’t stand out like the Masala Mama, however.

light amber in color, slightly cloudy with average head and good lacing. aroma was very hoppy with grassy floral notes. texture had some zing to it and taste had some grapefruit. nicely done.

Served with a large head that soon diminished. Aromas of citrus and hops. Hazy amber with good lacing. Falvors of citrus and hops with long duration, moderate to heavy hops flavor, creamy texture, light to medium body. This is a very good beer!

Nice and hoppy, very rich and malty with lots of soft, pine aroma that is very pleasant. Almost cloudy, but mostly clear anda thin, white head. Rich, caramel malt flavor with a well balanced pine flavor and a nice level of bitterness with a hint of ale fruitiness in the finish. Medium sweet, but well balanced. Great medium-full body wit ha nice creamy feel and soft carbination. A really good pale ale.

Sweet, hoppy aroma that doesn’t smell overly bitter...perfect for an APA. Slightly hazy light amber with an average-sized off-white, creamy, frothy, somewhat lasting head. Excellent lace!! Initial mouthfeel has a strong hop aspect. A touch on the dry side. This is an excellent pale; almost bitter enough for an IPA. I could drink this all night at 5.7% ABV. Not quite as rich and sweet as the Masala Mama IPA, but nearly as hoppy.

Light orange and mostly clear. Sharp pine needles woven into a biscuity, bready and buttery malt with a hint of peach. Tranquilizer for the tongue and I am exhaling sweat bready malt. Very well done.

Clear orange color with a thin head. A good blend of pine and citrus-based hops in the aroma. The citrus tends to win out in the taste, but so much that it obliterates the rest of the beer. Dry and bitter finish with a little malt to keep it afloat. Well balanced Pale.

Latest in the single-hop series, second after the Columbus, which was more of an IPA than a regular pale. No caramel malts were used in this, to keep the color light golden and let the hops shine through, and doing so prove that a light-colored beer can be full-flavored. True, the mates at the bar all marvelled how much it's appearance could be mistaken for a pint of Miller, but not when you taste it, oh, no! Appearance: as already mentioned, perfectly clear, bright golden, sparkling yellow, with a nice, white head above. Aroma: hop-hop-hoppy, with pine, citrus, peach, apricot, and more bursting forth, fruit forward, as they say in wine-land. Very appealing and inviting, sweet and tasty. So, taste! Hops dance and sing on the palate, neatly buzzing the tastebuds, then softly fading, until the next sip, which isn't taking it's time in coming around..this is lovely stuff, and it likes being in the mouth! Light in body, with a long, fruity finish, good hoppy texture, very easily consumed, with a persistent, zingy, hoppy flavor. And there's just enough malt, too, where there's no worry of this pleasant creature turning into a hop monster. Quite high on the drinkability factor! Another top notch effort from Town Hall!
