Notes:
Pale Ale
12oz Can
6.1% ABV
Appearance:
Pours a dark caramel brown with hints of merlot red…though it’s dark,
it’s clear with no bubble action…some light khaki color head did form but only
a thin layer has hung around…(3.25/5)
Smell: Tons of
sweet caramel malts, mild on the spicy earthy hops…straight from the fridge it
lacks some depth and variety…the sweet caramel malts are nice, but it’s like a
cowboy wandering the pasture on a rainy night looking for his horse…(3.5/5)
Taste: Sweet
caramel malts combined with pale malts…there’s a noticeable earthy, spicy hops
quality to this, but it’s real light…could be more and that would round the
flavor out much better…it’s a sweet caramel malt concoction that is good, but
it lacks in overall character...some earthy/piney bitterness shows up
late…(3.25/5)
Mouthfeel:
Light to medium body…light on carbonation...there’s a light, chewy,
earthy hops resin feel on my palate that I wish was stronger, it would really
add to the overall outcome…as it is, like most everything else, it leaves just
that little bit extra that could ultimately make this a much better
brew…(2.5/5)
Overall:
Average beer with just slightly above average flavor…every aspect of its
construction leaves me wanting, the flavor isn’t strong, the aroma isn’t
strong, the mouthfeel is light (aka watery)…there’s no sign of the 6.1% ABV…I
will say, if I wasn’t trying to breakdown its particular qualities, I’d happily
be drinking this brew, it really does have a good, drinkable flavor…as it is,
I’ve had one, probably won’t have another…(3/5)
Score:
(3.12/5)
