After enjoying the hell out of many of these on-tap during this past week, a growler was needed in order to get a solid review - Medium hay gold color, kinda clear with a slight smearing of tone and glare. A few, very slow bubbles rise up within the body. Startchy medium sized topping of semi crunchy looking white foam sits on top. Lots of thick lacing in zig-zagged strings all over the place plaster the glass as its consumed(easily).
Clean, yet pungent of hop flowered resinyness and a lemony sweet backing for a pleasing aroma with a tint of grass and some nice buttery tones to it. Actually, this is quite reminiscent of the Single Malt with just a bit more lemony hop cone freshness to it. I wonder if the Golden Promise malt was used in this?
Taste is outstanding! Clean, crisp, crunchy, fluffy hop textured tone up front with a nice balancing sweetness behind. Kinda toasty and buttery. Has a uniquely set lemony pithyness and high ended grass tone to it with the hops. Nice lasting flavors that are milding yet forward without a full on hop over load. Clean, crisp finish with a floating pithy bitterness and bite of pine and flowering fall grasses.
Firm and rounded medium body with a great balance of sweetened, lightly toasty breads and lemony crunched hop grasses. Seemingly simple but carries a creative complexity thats intreguing as hell and lasts just right through to the finish
Out of this world drinkability. A true sessionable Pale ale here. Another Town Hall gem of a pale. Reminds me alot of the Pizza Port Amigo Mexican Lager I had many of in Carlsbad a couple summers ago.

Oct 25, 2007 very light golden colour with a medium white head. The nose has some citrus and pine hops. The flavor is all pale ale with a medium blast of piney hops. Not much to it...all hail the town hall pale.

Oct 23, 2007 Interesting aroma. Typical grapefruit but accentuated with a sweeter fruity boquet. Flavor is cereal grain mixed with light hops. Some honey also detected. Nothing too special and a bit boring.
