Seems like my photo from the poured beer didn't work out so there is only a picture of the bottle. But anyway let's review an American Pale Ale. What would I expect? Citric hop style with a nice malty character, not too dry at the end, or?
Color is pretty yellowish copper. Foam is white. Head retention is good. The citric hop note is there. First nip goes down well. No off flavors. Light malt sweetness, kind of honey. Bitterness keeps in hanging for some time at the end. Well carbonated but slightly to thin. A little more malt would help this beer forward.
As this was my first American Pale Ale I have to comparison yet. Let's check for another one and then come back here.
