Rock Bottom Rock Creek Pale Ale
Beer-a-Day #237
Rich gold in color, this medium-bodied American Pale Ale has a bold, citrus hop character and a touch of caramel maltiness. Try it with something spicy!
My boss said, “Hey, I’m going over to the brewpub for a cold one. Interested?”
What a silly question.
I had the Rock Creek Pale Ale. It was yellowish/orange with some haze. Plenty of grapefruit aroma. It has a nice bite and is quite good. I rather liked it.

Our interpretation of a classic English beer style is copper-colored, medium-bodied and highly hopped. Its flavor is delightfully complex: tangy fruit at the start, with an assertive hop crispness and a long malty palate that one well-known beer writer has compared to the flavor of freshly-baked bread.
Brown with some golden highlights and an [...]

A Tröegs Brewery classic, our Pale Ale is copper colored with generous amounts of Cascade hops to create a floral, aromatic pale ale that smells as delicious as it tastes.
Tröegs Pale Ale pairs nicely with Mediterranean foods, starches and anything with fresh herbs. The floral hop character also blends with cheesy dishes like [...]

This thirst quenching Barons Pale Ale uses the finest Australasian ingredients including Pacific Hallertau and Nelson Sauvin Hops. Best enjoyed icy cold.
Pale with a yellowish-orange caste. I get a bit of lemon and caramel in the aroma. Medium body with just enough hops in the finish. I’m glad this made the trip from [...]

Pours a pale straw golden with a moderate white head. A bright, crisp aroma of floral, pine, and citrus accompanied by a malt backbone. At first taste good hop bitterness presence that turns to slightly bready malt sweetness that finishes dry and clean with hop flavor that lingers letting you know you just drank [...]

When the phrase “California Style Ale” is used, Poleeko Gold Pale Ale is the one that comes to mind. The golden color and generous use of Pacific Northwest hops establish a distinct style, separate from any domestic or European beers. Our honey-gold pale ale is crisp and clear, with an unusual lightness and dryness [...]

Chris came over four weeks ago and I helped him brew his first batch of homebrew. It’s been conditioning in the bottle for two weeks now, so it’s time to sample the fruits of our labor.
Nice golden brown with a little haze. I’m getting some fruit in the aroma. Cantaloupe, perhaps? A little nutty [...]
