Fair State Pahlay' Ahlay Pale Ale

Notes from Tuesday, August 4, 3:53 A.M.


Fair State Pahlay' Ahlay, Pale Ale. I assume. Fair State Co-op. Minneapolis, Minnesota. IBU 45. ABV 4.8%.

Appearance: clouded, bright golden-hued, large, white head, leaving lacing.

Aroma: bright and citrus-y, lemon and lime. Beautiful.

Taste: light, bright, and lovely. Doing what's got to be done. Bracing bitterness at first, then all is mellow thereafter. Mango and pineapple. It drinks down a dream, for certain. Drinkability is supreme. A right on the money pale ale. Does what it's supposed to do, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Is there gobbledygook? Yes. ""Pale ale (get it?) brewed with citra hops for a tropical fruit explosion. Mahalo, y'all."

Is there more? Yes. "We believe in happy ours. At Fair State Brewing, our cooperative model puts the mutual love  between craft brewer and patron to work to create something that truly belongs to us all. It's our belief that quality beers can build infinite community. Cheers!"
