North Coast Brewing Co., Fort Bragg, CA www.northcoastbrewing.com
Water, Malt, Hops, Yeast, & That’s All
Appearance
An attractive orange copper tone, very effervescent, with light cloudiness. Head is
off-white in color, very smooth and creamy, long lasting, and the lacing on the
glass is incredible. Very interesting pour, large foamy head that is quite lasting.
Almost turbulent in the glass, swirling around itself. This brew has a moderately
clear orange hue that thins around the edges.
Aroma
A good and full aroma, lemon and lime sweetness and zest, with the requisite
pale ale hops and some grains. My only critique is that the overall strength of the
aroma is a bit light. Mild earthy orange, sweet and clover-like. A sourness of yeast
and a distant hop. Thin, yet seductive.
Palate
Full flavored with a lightly creamy texture. Complex for the style with a sweet and
tart citrus zest along with a balanced carbonation and hop zing. Sweet and sour
orange tang. Mellow and thirst quenching, an easy drinking pale ale. A botanical
feel of a Belgian but without the warmth. More mild spice develops through the
drinking experience.
Finish
One of the smoothest palate to finish transitions I can recall. All palate flavors
carry through with more strength but eases up slowly. The expected pale ale hop
kicks up a bit but no flavor components are overshadowed. Flavors converge to
provide a mildly hoppy tea-like taste. As a whole, delicate, nothing is overbearing.
Sweetness is very light and natural, a nice experience.
Synopsis
An enjoyable pale ale, complex sweet and sour citrus, hop, grains, and a good
carbonation mix. Expertly crafted I would call this a rare example of a perfect
balance. The flavors do not alternate yet they do not cancel each other out either.
All flavors maintain simultaneously in a nice harmonious balance. This pale ale
has taste but is so controlled, soft, and fine. I admire the subtleness, like a jazz
song, you hear notes that aren't there.
