Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Poured this one into my trusty Red Hook pint glass. Appearance: Dark gold, or brassy with a quarter inch frothy white head that stays in there for the long haul. Smell: Great balance of sweet malt and piney, citrus hop's. Taste: Starts off with a bite then the caramel malt massages the taste buds into submission only to take another West Coast style hoppy bite. Perfect balance as a pale ale should. Mouthfeel: This beer has a great medium bodied feel to it, with just the right amount of carbonation. Overall: If there's a pale ale out there better than this I'd like to know.
