Hales Pale Ale

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

This beer tasted like poop. Cloudy orange with a decent sized froth head. Taste is terribly metallicy. To the point of being offensive. Aroma has some soft floral and grapefruit like notes. But can't get over the taste. Stale and watery.

Poured froma a bottle with a nice head and really nice fruity aroma. Not sure what happened in the flavor department here. Has a harsh hops aftertaste that is not smooth at all. Nice malt start but the type of bitterness was way to unpleasant for me.

For a pale ale, this was rather weak BUT still not bad. I was expecting some hoppyness in the nose, but it fell a bit short. Apperance was a nice light amber color. Decent palate with malty, caramel notes, a bit sweet and light in the hop department. Surely a drinkable beer, but since there are SO many better Pale Ale's available, I doubt this will get a second notice unless it's really inexpensive.

Bottle. Pours a clear, amber color with a medium white head. Good lacing. Pleasant hoppy aroma, maybe centennial hops. Nice mouthfeel. Flavor well-balanced with hops, malt, and a citrusy kick to it. Pretty good pale ale.

Pours a clear orange with a slightly off-white head. Aroma is strong and hoppy. Flavor is well balanced, but leans a little towards the malt side. Overall a pretty good beer, that I would drink more if available in this area.

Lt brown color, medium head. Lightly hopped, medium malts. Nice smooth malt flavor, some hoppyness, and some malt sweetness. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is malty, no bitterness.

A distinctive beer, fruity with a great malt and hops balance. Very aromatic and a pleasing to the palate beer. A top 10 beer in my master list, a must try if your in the Northwest as they don't export, more's the pity!
