56 Brewing American Pale Ale.
Dusky bronze. Creamy, lasting head. Looks nice.
Citric, grassy nose. Malty undertones, caramel and vanilla. Interesting.
In the mouth, bitterness grabs the palate first, then juicy malt rushes up and keeps time with the hops. Creamy, caramel-toned malt flavors start to dominate, and it ends out dryly on the palate. Turning soft, smooth, and creamy, nicely balanced.
This does not say "American Pale Ale" to me, for it's too malty and herbally sweet. APAs should be hoppy and lean. Feels more like an English-style pale ale, with an American hop twist. It's not bad, but it's not what I really want. I'm sure someone likes it, but as for me...eh...
