Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is North Coast Brewing Company ACME
California Pale Ale. It always surprises me when I realize that I have yet to
review a beer from a brewery that I like a lot.
Tonight I will add this one to the fold and I plan to review a few other
beers I’ve neglected to review from breweries that make my list of favorites.
My wife is a big fan of this beer which is what led me to purchase this latest
six pack.
From the North Coast Brewing Company website: “This
easy-drinking Pale Ale revives the name of one of the early icons of California
brewing. Clean-tasting and pleasantly malty, Acme Pale is brewed with
Yakima Valley hops, American two-row malt and British specialty malts for
depth.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
an orangish gold color with a large off-white head and excellent lacing.
Aroma: Citrus and
slight pine hop scents, toasted and bready malts.
Taste: Pale,
toasted and biscuit malts, light citrus hops and toffee.
Overall: Crisp,
clean and not overly hoppy, North Coast Brewing Company ACME California Pale
Ale is incredibly drinkable and one that I completely enjoy. At 5% ABV this is an excellent session beer
and since it is more malt driven than hop driven it is a beer my wife loves
(bonus). Yet another beer to keep around in the beer fridge.
Cheers!
