P3 Pale Ale

Category: American Style Pale Ale

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 5.1%
Dark light gold color. Aromas and flavors of honey on pineapple bread, mango candies, fresh melon, and yuzu with a velvety, lively, spritzy, dryish medium-to-full body and a delightful, medium-long finish that presents accents of tropical fruits, pine, and sweet and honeyed malt. More session IPA than Pale Ale? That is up for full fledged beer nerd debate but the rich and tropical hops essence is totally here.

Despite their name, pale ales tend to appear amber in color. They range from 4.5-6% in alcohol and feature crisp, full-bodied flavors and aromas. U.S. versions of pale ales are crisper and feature a higher hop profile than original English versions of the style. Pale ales have become one of the benchmarks by which craft brewers are judged in the US. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Goose Island Green Line Pale Ale, Oskar Blues Dale’s Pale Ale, Great Lakes Burning River Pale Ale and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
