Field House Brewing Co. Dutch Pale Ale – American Pale Ale at 4.8% ABV | 16 IBU (C$3.24 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 10-Mar-2022, reviewed 11-Mar-2022)
Appearance: clear straw with one fat finger of fine white head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: mild, crackery malt, floral, grass. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, low bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, short duration clean finish. (4/5)
I haven’t had a lot by this brewer (four, prior to this one) but I’ve been fairly impressed with those (μ=7.9 & σ=0.25). This is… less impressive. That’s not to say there’s anything negative about it, but it’s just a very straightforward, Pilsner-ish Pale. The aroma is mild, and what there is of it is largely dominated by pale malt. It’s easy to drink, but equally easy to forget when it’s gone. I suppose could have scored it lower out of sheer boredom and crankiness, but to be fair there are no negatives, so it really shouldn’t be scored much lower than I have it. (14/20)
This will be my 5,218th unique Untappd check-in.
