Overall this wasn't a great beer by any stretch, but it succeeds in putting money in the bank for Four Peaks. Worth a shot.★ 685 charactersglid02, Mar 30, 20093.25/5 rDev -10%ksi4077, Nov 12, 20144/5 rDev +10.8%Zachb4au, Mar 16, 20122.24/5 rDev -38%look: 2 | smell: 3 | taste: 2 | feel: 2 | overall: 2Thanks tayner for this extra.

A keeper, English style hops and understated approach. A faint hop aroma. Light yellow and very lacey. Average mouthfeel. A nice bitterness. Carbonation right there.Good balance between bitterness and the malting.★ 261 charactersSammy, Feb 07, 20103.43/5 rDev -5%look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5A: clear dark golden color.. 1 finger head.
O: a good session brew that has enough flavor.★ 330 charactersaval89, Oct 15, 20113.5/5 rDev -3%RealCoolHand67, May 21, 20133.5/5 rDev -3%permian-boozer, Aug 30, 20143.68/5 rDev +1.9%look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4Got a bottle at AJ's. This reminds me of Tree Fort Ale from Michigan, which is also a very bright take on the English pale ale. The flavor and aroma are a mix of lemony hops and toasty, bready malts. It's not necessarily clean, like there's a gentle creamy undertone, with the yeast playing a small complement to the malts. A tasty session beer, worth trying.★ 359 characterstempest, Feb 11, 20123.63/5 rDev +0.6%look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4Pours amber with a 4 fingers+ offwhite head. Good lacing & pretty good head retention
Drinks pretty good, just nothing too complicated here. I'd say this reminds me more of an APA than an English PA , decent session ale★ 441 charactersrusspowell, Oct 01, 20063.8/5 rDev +5.3%look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4Hazy, bronze-coppery in hue with some peachy influences; white foam, sadly the head was only a half finger tall. Head retention was poor, the bubbles quickly dismissed to a soapy cap. The subsequent lacing was spotty but not widespread. The appearance, overall, is decent but far from noteworthy. The label claims this is an English Pale Ale but one sniff and I am not totally convinced. The hops are too Americanized, sure, it is not a citrus bomb or anything but the fruity, earthy, vibe is kind of clean and off. Okay, I am going to backtrack, the hops are English-style hops but maybe they were grown in the US or something? Maybe that has nothing to do with anything. Maybe the malt, while caramel based with earthy, biscuit hints, is agreeable but it too is a tad clean. Maybe the yeast is too clean. Maybe, in my mind, clean means Americanized. With all that said
the potency is moderate and the aromas are pleasant too smell. That is all that matters. Inviting.
Medium/medium-light in body, the carbonation is low but natural; overall the mouthfeel is fitting and agreeable. It does fall on the small side of life but I can deal with it. Props for such a well made beer! It is very easy to drink but with plenty of flavor and little alcohol. Session beer! I would love for this beer to be available in Nebraska. It kind of reminds me of 3Fs Pride & Joy Mild Ale. Lingering aftertaste that begs to be paired with burgers, grilled cheese, or anything BBQ. Lovely! Thank you Aunt Kathy and Uncle Rick for sending me this fine AZ brew. Recommended.★ 2,043 charactersbditty187, Mar 21, 20064.23/5 rDev +17.2%look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25Choosing to review the cask version of this beer, which is fantastic. (I like the bottled/draught version well enough, but on cask this really shines). FP deserves some serious credit for their cask management -- rare is the day when I find a cask beer there in poor condition. 8th Street on cask is absolutely, 100% British in nature, floral hops interplay with a pleasant maltiness, perhaps a touch caramel-heavy at times, but overall really well weighted and tasty. No American hops here -- just Fuggles and Golding -- and, again, they work to perfection. This is easily as good as any ESB/English pale ale I had in the UK. Kudos, Four Peaks.★ 645 charactersbreadwinner, Feb 20, 2015
