Lamar St. Pale Ale

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 5

An orange copper colored ale. Small white soapy head. Some retention. Settles into a decent lacing. The aroma is flora, grainy and caramel sweet. A thin bodied brew. Some carbonation fills in on the weakness of the body. Not an impressively flavorful drink. Some malt. Tastes almost like a macro-lager. Really not impressive for something Whole Foods holds as it’s own.

Pours a dark caramel colour, lacing is top notch with low to medium head .. . light caramel and bark aroma notes .. . good in mouth, very pleasing aftertaste .. .. For being organic it is good, but at the level you would think .. . al borland, name that wood! .. . bought at whole foods in austin, first purchase of the trip!.. if you had blindfolded me and told me to guess the brewery, it would take around 500 guessess to get goose island.. .. austinites or austinians???

Orange colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is citrusfruits, oranges mainly along with some spices ans hops. Flavour is fruity hops along with some bittering hops as well as slight grassyness. Very pleasantly brewn thing.

Pours a light orange color, no head. Has a bit of smoke/hops (not much) in the flavor and well, that's about it. My wife bought this for herself and well, one has to live with (and drink) their choices.

I didn't realize this was the Whole Foods line. I wondered why I hadn't seen it outside of a Whole Foods or a Harry's Farmers Market. It's not a bad little APA. A bit on the dry side with only a moderate bitterness representing the hops. It's just missing something that's keeping it from being a good APA, it could use a little fuller malt flavor and more hop aroma and flavor than just the bitterness.

Medium gold color, small head. A medium bodied Pale Ale. Medium maltlyness, somewhat hoppy. Milder flavor. Mouthfeel is full and round, a little sharp. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter

An orange appearance with some dishwashing detergent and citrus in the aroma. The palate is quite thin on this one. The flavor is soapy with spices and an artifical orange taste. Its doable but not really that good.

Remember that old string of commercials, from (I believe) Burger King, that had the little old lady screaming "where's the beef?". When it comes to beers like this, I feel like screaming "where's the taste?". Organic or not, this beer is well on it's way to becoming Mayor of Blandsville, USA.

Pours well enough, but not much in the way of good Pale Ale aroma -- not much of any aroma, for that matter. Tastes ok, at best -- extremly bland and harmless. This reminds me of a homebrew that had the gravity start off too low (1.030's?). Some rudimentary hop characteristics, but so noncomital it's not even worth the trouble to try to identify them. Strictly by-the-numbers for mouthfeel, too. And it's drinkable enough, but so is water.

There are many "organic" beers out there nowadays -- Whole Foods seems to specialize. And unfortunately, many of them are dull-dull-dull. This one just happens to be the dullest of the dull, IMO.

I found this to be a good pale ale, one of the better ones originating from Goose Island. Pours a nice cloudy amber, topped with minimal head, palate was a little sparse, too bubbly. Flavor was relaxing, a nice beer on a hot summer day.
