Review - Mad River Brewing Company's Extra Pale Ale
"The original Extra Pale Ale, this is the one that started it all. Our first brew was introduced in 1989 in Golden Gate style kegs. We have stayed true to our beginnings and still brew it the way we did back then. A bright golden hued ale with a medium body and a crisp spicy /floral hop character and very mild bitterness. This unfiltered ale has a pleasing mouth feel and remains our most popular brew. This beer goes with everything and every occasion."
>Pours clear light yellow body with a small off-white fizzy head. Fully diminishing and virtually no lacing. The nose detects a moderate amount of malts with a nutty aroma. Initially tasting moderately sweet and remains moderately sweet for an average duration. Light body with lively carbonation, watery texture, and light metallic finish.
Reviewer's notes: "Very active and had a burnt malt taste. Not satisfying and let me down - disappointed - Ian."
