When the phrase "California Style Ale" is used, Poleeko Gold Pale Ale is the one that comes to mind. The golden color and generous use of Pacific Northwest hops establish a distinct style, separate from any domestic or European beers. Our honey-gold pale ale is crisp and clear, with an unusual lightness and dryness for such a full-flavored ale. The arousing abundance of hops adds both a floral bouquet and a lively, citrusy finish. It is excellent alone, or with full-flavored meals and spicy dishes.

Beer tasting with Marius at Café de la Gare. Clear amber, off-white lacing foam head. Light fruity hoppy aroma, light bitter taste. Some lemon notes.(Den Haag 201503)

Just ehh for a pale ale. Could be the worst of the 4 in the variety pack. So many out there now, a bit of a disappointment. Flavor is ok, just off-balanced. Nothing from this brewery really excites me yet.

This is an average beer at best. Pale gold in colour with a white head. Aroma was grainy malt and citrus hops, and little bit of light fruit. Flavour is slightly sweet, and the hops are weak, but present

Not an especially complex or intriguing beer, but enjoyable none-the-less. Pours yellow/gold with a medium fluffy white head. Light body with grassy tones giving way to floral and a bit of pine. Slightly more hoppy than malty.

Golden, burnt orange color that was somewhat cloudy with a huge white fluffy head with great retention and very nice lacing. The head stayed with the beer most of the way down the glass. Nice fresh floral hops in the nose. Picking up hints of the grapefruit/citrus and also getting a pleasant "toasty", "biscuity" aroma. Very well balanced. Nothing overpowering, but nice enough to temp me. In the taste, I picked up the grapefruit/citrus, but it was mild. Breadiness was there with an unmistakable bitterness. The hops were not over the top and balanced well with the remaining flavors. Medium to light, dry, crisp mouthfeel. Coates the palate nicely. Doesn't really hang around as long as some others, but does stay around long enough for me to savor it. As the beer warmed the mouthfeel became ever so slightly watered. Nice little brew here. Very solid. Easy drinking and worth a try in my opinion. Another beer that would pair well with a fresh Spring and early Summer day. It goes down way easy.

Aroma is malty and not strong, but still invites a taste. Pours a clear orange-amber with a typical white head. Flavor is crisp and malty, more like a lager than an ale, with a nice bitter hoppy undertone. Texture is smooth and just a little fizzy. Overall, not great, but worthy of at least a try.

This beer has a nice grassy/citrus aroma that got me a little excited it poured a clear orangish gold with a thin head that disipated quickly. The taste was not bad but with such a strong aroma the taste was a little muted. At cold temps it had a slight after taste but whne the beer warmed up a little that disappered and it had a nice clean finish.

Pours golden-orange in color with a thin to moderate sized off-white head. Spots of lacing. Citrusy and floral aroma with whiffs of malt. Caramel malty flavor, citrus hops, flowers, light bitterness, this tastes pretty much how you think it should from the aroma. Nothing special but a decent session.

A crystalline orange tinged amber colored ale. Big frothy white head. Hangs around awhile. Eventually settles into a nice soapy lacing. Bif citrusy hop nose right up front. Moderate body, with some carbonation. Dry finish. In the taste a balance is attained in the subtle sweetness of malt and the bold, in your face citrus hops. I like it.

This stuff is gold. Spent a lazy Saturday afternoon drinking 3 bottles of this and they all went down extremely easy. Pours out a solid medium gold color, 2" fluffy white head and low carbonation. Aroma is floral hops, some apples, and a bit of citrus. As it warms, the citrus and pine become a little more pronounced. Flavor has a nice balance between apples/pears and citrus/hops. Don’t get much caramel malts, mostly just sweet fruit to keep the hops in check. Enjoyable.
