Tröegs Pale Ale

Brewed by Tröegs Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania USA

bottle. orange/light amber with a small compact off white head. Aroma: Citrus/Pine, sweet malts taste: bitter and hoppy up front with some malt showing through, alittle bit watery but overall pretty solid.

After multiple tastings, this one has grown on me. Pours golden with some orange hues, respectable head, decent lacing. The aroma was typical, some citrus hops. The flavor was citrus over top of a clear crysal malt present, a very nice combination. Mouthfeel was typical. My kind of pale ale, although arguable a touch on the sweet side.

Bottled. Beer was clear, medium gold with a small, frothy, off-white, mostly and quickly diminishing head. The aroma was moderately malty with notes of toasted grain, cookie and caramel; moderately hoppy with notes of herb, lemon, apricot and resin/pine; lightly yeasty with a note of sweet dough; trace note of cola. The flavor was lightly sweet, lightly acidic and moderately bitter with an average-length, lightly bittersweet, trace acidic finish. The body was light, the texture was watery and the carbonation was lively. Light astringency to the finish.

Bottle. Head is mostly diminishing. Body is dark yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), moderately hoppy (resin), moderately yeasty (dough). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. A biting, yeasty affair. Not enjoyable.

Bright amber appearance with an average size, off white head and decent lacing. Modest citrusy aroma followed by a slightly herbal scent. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated with a soft, smooth mouthfeel. Decently balanced, especially as it finishes.

Bottle. Pours pale copper with an average sized white head. Aroma of citrus, sweet malts and hops. Flavor is smooth, citrus, bitter hoppiness, and caramel. Good body, decent brew.

This one was above average. It was IPA esque with a milding agent, less the hops and the alcohol. I think the malts. And the alcohol was bearable. I loved it. Personal favorite from the Troegs brewery next to Nugget Nectar.

In the bottle. Pours golden dark yellow with a white head. Citrus-like hoppy aroma seems fairly average. Medium body and a typical pale ale level of hoppiness. Solid beer, but not outstanding. I find the HopBack to be far superior.
