Pintail - Pale Ale

This beer is brewed in San Diego, California. I have been to California but didn't get down as far as San Diego. I did how ever try many American beers. I was informed that the Americans brewed some terrible beer (and they do) but if you don't drink the cheep and nasty ones they also brew some amazing beer, like this one.

The Pintail, Pale Ale is 5.3%. Pale Ales are generally lighter in colour than your stand ale, hence the "pale" ale. I find American Pale Ales to be a little bit more malty that your average pale ale but that might just be me.




Pale Ales are probably my second favourite type of beer (very closely behind pilsner). This one is malty, hoppy and citrusy. Apparently they use hops from New Zealand (my home country) which makes the flavour that little bit better.

This is a great beer for a Spring or Summer afternoon, maybe around a BBQ with some friends. It's refreshing, easy to drink and I'm glad I have more in the fridge.
