Schlafly Beer Tasting

Since now that I've updated a lot of my previous brewing history to this point, I won't have that much to write about. I decided to write about other beers when I have them. Today I was at Schnucks picking up some fish to cook, so I decided to get a 6 pack of a pale ale. I settled on:

Schlafly Brand Pale Ale

I went for this one because I wanted a pale ale, and I saw it had bottles I could reuse. That was pretty much the extent of what went into my decision.

Date: April 1st, 2008

Color: A light amber, almost orangish color.

Clarity: Clear

Aroma: Nothing that particularly hits you if you weren't smelling for it. There's a bit of hoppiness, but it is very subtly if there at all. A more malty smell.

Head: Pretty solid head. When I poured it I got about 1", and it sticks around a bit. It doesn't seem to go away completely either, there's a little bit left hanging round for as long as it took me to finish.

Tasting Notes: It's pretty solid. It's the kind of beer that I would enjoy anytime, but not necesarily go out of my way to drink regularly. It has a good malt flavor and a little bit of a hop kick at the end. It goes down smooth. It's a good Pale ale.

Rating: 4/5
