Tröegs Pale Ale
Not nearly as good as their wonderful Amber (IPA), but not bad either. The beer pours a clear golden with a nice white creamy head that retains a bit and laces. The nose on the beer is a bit more hopped up than what the taste will reveal. There are some residual florals, some bready malts, but mostly estery hops. I just wish more of those made their way into the taste. The beer is light to medium bodied with a fairly smooth body, decent carbonation, a malty backbone, a slightly saltene character towards the finish. There are some florals present in the beer, it is quite sweet, in fact there is very little drying notes present. There is a slight tartness from the hops, but there really is nothing of the estery hop oils present in the beer. It's a decent APA, worth trying, but nothing really stands out here. The beer isn't overly complex.
