Union Barrel Works Pale Ale

on tap, pours carmel amber with a thin off white head. Tons of hop aromas, very pleasant, flavors the same with nice bitterness offset by some toasted malt. Solid.

On handpull, @ UBW. Pours a mostly clear amber body with a nice creamy off-white head. Light aroma of leafy hops and a bit of toasty and caramel malts. The flavor is fairly green and leafty bitter hops with a very light malt base, toasty and dry. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with a nice cask conditioned carbonation level. Overall, just your basic APA, decent, but not a stand-out.

On draft and on cask at the brewpub. Light amber color topped by a fluffy white head. Smells of earthy, grassy hops, faint citrus. Taste is very similar with a touch of caramel. Somewhat on the dry side for a pale ale but that is how I like my hoppy beers. I think this was the best one that I tried during my visit to the Barrel Works.

On tap at the brewery...pours amber color, slight white head...scent had hints of floral citrus wiht some earthiness too it...taste was clean, grassy, some citrus and hops...decent.

On draught at brewer. Huge Goldings nose! Hazy amber pour with lots of soapy lace. Pale malts, biscuits and flour notes grace the tongue, with a nicely clean dry-hopped finish. Cleanses the palate decently. Dry citrus notes come in at the back of the pull, still bittered. A bit reminiscent of an American take on the English ESB.

Moderate amber-bronze color with an easy hop aroma of cascade and honey. Mild English Hop (Kent Golding) flavor with a moderate raw hop finish. Decent, English style Pale Ale, albeit one with some PNW hops.

Pours a golden amber with a smaller bubbly white head. Aroma of citrus, iced tea, caramelalt. Flavor of caramel, medium hop bitterness, hop flavor and mixed citrus.

Bottle sampled @ Newtown Brewfest with the Mad Indian. Pours amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of citrus, caramel malt, and piney hops. The flavor is slightly sweet, with a citrusy piney mild bitter finish.
