Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Palo Alto Brewing Company Hoppy
Ending Pale Ale.
From the Palo Alto Brewing Company website: “Hoppy Ending Pale Ale
is a traditional West Coast style Pale Ale. It is an unfiltered, golden-colored
ale with an aggressive hoppy aroma filled with citrus and floral notes
characteristic of our West Coast hops. It is full-bodied and complex. The
perfect balance of malt and hops leaves a nice lingering bitterness without
overwhelming your palate, and is sure to leave you craving another.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours a clear and golden color with a white
foamy head and a little lacing.
Aroma: Biscuit and light malts with crisp citrus and pine
hops.
Taste: Slightly sweet and grainy, biscuit malt and pine
hops. Very light, refreshing and
approachable.
Overall: A mild Pale Ale, Palo Alto Brewing Company’s Hoppy
Ending Pale Ale isn’t going to knock your socks off with huge flavor, but it
was certainly enjoyable. I’d gladly accept a pint of this one or order it when
out. At 5% ABV and such light body I could enjoy this fresh and solid APA.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
