Geary’s, Pale Ale

Not all pale ales are created equal and there is proof in this bottle. I have had many different pale ales: some good, some bad and each a little different than the last. Which brings me to this week’s beer. Oh, it looks like a normal pale ale, but don’t be fooled, there is something different about the taste of this brew.
For starters, this had a good copper color in the glass after it had been sitting in the fridge for a while. Before I took a drink, I noticed the aroma of the beer was kind of strange. ...

Just when I thought that I had every kind of fruit beer – blueberry, apricot, watermelon, strawberry, raspberry, snozberry – I find a mango flavored ale.

This is your basic pale ale, refreshing with a very crisp taste. I actually was impressed with the quality of product that was produced,...
Beer Review: Dogfish Head, Shelter Pale Ale

Enough time has passed, and I thought it wise to review a Dogfish Head beer, since I enjoy most of their brews so much. A while back I tried this pale ale, and I was surprised in the best way possible. When it comes to pale ales, I find some of them can be hit or miss. Overall many taste the same, though some stand out, but it is hard to strike that balance between too bitter and not bitter enough. Enter Dogfish Head.
This pale was a 5% and had been in the fridge for a short amount of...
