Not all Pale Ales are pale. Smuttynose serves up a medium chestnut colored brew. The head is full. It has a very nice aroma of malt, coffee, and caramel.
It has a nice malt upfront. But in the middle the coffee and caramel kick in. In the back the hops perk up and they stay with you on down and through the exhale. It leaves a nice toasted hop aftertaste. Overall it has a very dry character to it.
The flavor is of medium intensity and definitely present. It also is a filling brew. Recommend having a lighter beer in between every one or two to prevent fatigue. A very high quality brew.
