Stoudt's American Pale Ale

Nice color of the hazy copper kind. Decent head that dies down quick though there is an even lacing on the sides of the glass throughout. There's a bit of skunk in the hops but not dominant because of a sweet malt aroma that smooths it all out. Tastewise it's pretty solid as far as an America Pale. The hops are tart. A medium body with not much of pine needles or grapefruit thing that one usually finds in a pale but more of a tangerine flavor that's complimented by warm brown sugarish undertones that hangs around down the throat but doesn't feel too sticky. A little bit of a hop and alcohol (weird because this is only 5% abv) burn in the aftertaste though the dry sweetness tames it before a hotness gets to be too much for some. A nicely balanced and smooth drinking American Pale.
