Victory Pale Ale

Pours a cloudy pale amber color with an orange glow. The pour presents a thin quarter inch white head that dissipates quickly leaving a thin layer of foam resting on top. A good amount of light lacing. The aroma presents a nice mix of floral and citrus hops with a grapefruit type scent all wrapped around a light caramel or toffee malt. The taste is very similar to the aroma. Starts mellow and quickly works into a sweet caramel or toffee malt with a blend of citrus and pine bitter hops joining in. The malts and hops continue on into the finish with a dry earthy hop flavor finishing things up. A dry bitterness last in the aftertaste. Light to medium body with medium carbonation. A slightly gritty mouth feel with a dry bitter finish. Overall, I really like this beer! An easy drinking pale ale with a solid hop profile that is well balanced with a nice sweet malt. This is the first beer that I have had from Emmett's Brewing Co. and I look forward to trying some of the other beers they offer! Try one!
