Anderson Valley Poleeko Gold Pale Ale

Anderson Valley Brewing Co.  Boonville, CA

Notes:
Pale Ale
12oz Bottle
5.0% ABV


Appearance:  Classic deep golden color…just off white head that forms thick then settles in nicely…(3.5/5)

Smell:  Nice pale malt aroma…sweet and crisp with some citrus hop finish…(3/5)

Taste:  Light with a nice balance of malt and citrus hops…definitely some lemon in there…classic pale ale feel with a slight citrus kick…(3.5/5)

Mouthfeel:  Light and crisp…very little carbonation…malty in the middle, lemony bitterness in the end…(3.25/5)

Overall:  There’s nothing flashy here, but what they did, they did well…a nice balance of malt, citrus hops and piney hops…additional lemon zest separates this ale from others and really does make it very drinkable…(3.25/5)

Score:


(3.31/5)
