Vinos Firehouse Pale Ale

Brewed by Vinos Brewpub
Style: American Pale Ale
Little Rock, Arkansas USA

Growler courtesy of lithy. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of spice, earth, grassy, some sweet citrus. Tastes bitter, peppery, earthy, nutty with a nice bite on the finish.

Dark brown-orange. Off white head. Aroma is empty, some crystal malt. Taste is again bare, some sweet malt, citrus hops.

Pours a semi-hazy amber with a weak nose and slightly burnt flavors. Nicely malty and caramel with some hop to balance.

PInt at the brewpub. Looks just like the IPA except there is very little head. No nose to speak of. Taste has very little hop or malt profile or alcohol presence. A bit grainy and chewy. Really not much going on here-very plain and not memorable. Stick with the IPA.

Tap at the brewpub. The body was deep copper. Smells of light oranges and leather. Old orange juice and light almonds in the flavor. There was also some metal. No hops what so ever. This is a bland APA.

nice session beer from vino’s. i enjoyed some of this before and during the hank III concert held at vino’s last summer. good blend of citrus hops with a solid malt base. Nothing special, but a good session beer.

a decent brew. some copper, orange, and carmel flavors in this guy. almost like a malty ESB but still keeps the pale ale session feel to it.

Growler filled 4-23-07. Pours hazy copper, almost brown. Reminds me more of a special bitter than an American pale. Faint citrusy american hop aroma, nice body with very balanced flavor. Nice dry finish. Not complex, but very drinkable.
