Border City Brewing Company Pale Ale – American Pale Ale at 5% ABV (C$3.00 at Collective, 355 ml, packaged on 7-Oct-2021, acquired 4-Nov-2021, reviewed 5-Nov-2021)
Appearance: slightly hazy straw with one finger of fluffy white head diminishing gradually to a thin cap, moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: citrus, grass, biscuity malt, light earthy pine. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, medium duration slightly astringent finish. (3/5)
A pretty straightforward traditional APA without a whole lot to talk about, positive or negative. Grass competes with citrus for dominance, but neither are particularly emphatic, nor do they overwhelm the biscuity malt. Finishes fairly clean, with a mild, almost-tart astringency. (14/20)
This will be my 5,112th unique Untappd check-in.
