Cisco Baileys Ale

Malty aroma has a yeasty overtone and a hint of pomme fruit. It pours a pretty clear golden amber with a thick and rather persistent white head. Flavor has a malty core plus tones of fruit and hoppy bitterness and a bready hint. Texture has average body and average fizz, but when the mouthfeel is the weakest point that ain’t too shabby. Named for a Labrador retriever? This beer is no, ahem, dog.

A bright golden colored beer with a big, fluffy textured, white head rising above. It has decent hang tim, settling into a moderate soapy ringlet. A nice balance of citric hops with bready malt. Tart, lemony in the tasting. A rich, effervescently crisp body. Very nice

A nicely softly carbonated, but a good upscale utility brew! Flavor is bold with heavy grapefruit highlights. If you come across a bottle, get a bottle, have a party!

Like the moors in a bottle. The moors smell floral in the spring, and I got this aroma when I opened it. They over charged the beer with carbonation and its a little annoying, but hey we all must make sacrifices.

Pours a hazy gold with a big white head. Smells of wildflowers, citrus, dry malt. Tastes dry and of wildflowers with a nice citrussy finish. Mouthfeel is rich and tingly. Enjoyable.

Poured a cloudy golden color with some sedimentation. Aroma was much like a pale ale, citrus and floral hops. Good lacing. Flavor was musty pine hops citrus. Very refreshing and drinkable.

Well, I'm rating this as an American Pale Ale, cuz that's what it was in my book. Either way, a nice showing, very flavored, very drinkable. The aroma was citrus and floral hops. Pour was golden colored, hazy with some sedimentation, the only blonde/golden ale aspect to this thing, very excellent lacing. Head a little weak, but for a blonde, it holds muster. The flavor was a little wheaty underneath solid citrus and piney hops, herbal, a little musty. Mouthfeel was moderate for the style, light overall, again very drinkable, well-flavored, though.

08.12.05 750ml bottle. What in the world is up with this stuff? Nearly impossible to get it into the glass. First pour was an inch of hazy golden beer and overflowing off-white foam. Second attempt was a volcano of more foam. I’ve settled for a half glass of beer after a fifteen minute wait. Well, it’s worth the wait. Aroma is juicy and hoppy with lots of sourish grass, some citrus, lots of pine, and some cracker. There’s also a mystery mineral aroma that’s earthy like moss and musty appleskins hidden under the bigger aromas; a nice secondary complexity. Flavor is just as curious as the aroma. Up front it’s a barrage of bright and oily lemon skins mixed with a healthy dose of pinesol. It’s a bit too much at first. But underneath the madness is a milder, grassy, fresh, and quenching beer with touches of summer grain fields drenched in citrus blossom nectar. Very nice juxtiposition of sourness and sweetness for such a light beer, and never too tart. It’s like a crisp, lemony pastry. Well done.
