177 Henry Weinhard's Blue Boar United States American Pale Ale 2.0

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

Pours a pale gold color with a fizzy, white and medium head that dissipates rather quickly. Doesn't leave much in the lacing department. The aroma is quite skunky, at first then some grains such as corn or rice, very underwhelming. The taste has very little bitterness. Flavors are the same as the aroma with a bit of citrus but blended well. The mouth feel is watery. Carbonation is definitely present.

178 Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale Ale United States American Pale Ale 3.5

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Pours a light golden tan/brown, nice small foamy whitehead and tons of sticky lacing. The aroma is of pale ale malts, bready, citric hops, yeasty sugars, a little lemon note at the finish. The taste is much like the aroma, pale malts with a nice citric, lemon flavored hop bite makes up the flavor. A biscuity, bitter flavor mixed in with some light yeasty sugars. Grapefruit and a little pine also adds some flavor. Malts coat the tongue with bready/biscuit flavor. Palate gets some hops, sugars and a little more malts. Aftertaste is smooth, malty with some lemon and orange peel. The mouth feel is medium bodied and nicely carbonated.

182 He'Brew Genesis Ale United States American Pale Ale 3.1

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

Pours a hazy dark golden orange color with apricot edges and a small white head that quickly settles into a thin, lasting ring. Spotty lacing left behind. The aroma is slightly earthy floral hop aroma with hints of pine needle and fresh cut grass countered by caramel malt sweetness, toffee, and biscuit. The taste is kind of bland without much else going on. One dimensional hop profile and the malt presence is stronger than I prefer. The mouthfeel is light bodied with delicate hop bitterness that lingers over the sweet malt backbone into a slightly dry finish. Light and easy to drink but not very complex or interesting. Dry, grassy bitterness countered by caramel malt, biscuit, toffee and a touch of dark fruit. Hop profile is one dimensional but has decent flavor. Malt presence is stronger than I prefer but provides some needed balance.

187 Wooden Shoe Canoe Pale Ale United States American Pale Ale 3.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

Golden color out of the bottle with a big fluffy white head. Very carbonated beer and very lively on the tongue. This is a style busting pale ale. Malty nose with some spice. Flavors of caramel sweetness, some over ripe bananas and yeasty bread. Some spices that almost hint at a dunkel wiesen. Not what you would expect from a pale ale. A great beer to pair with burgers or steaks.
