Juniper Pale Ale is brewed by Rogue Ales in Oregon
State. It is a 5.4% ABV brew with 34
IBU’s. Juniper Pale Ale is a winter brew
that is considered an herb/spiced beer.
My friend brought this over for a beer tasting so I cannot wait to
review it. Enjoy!
Appearance- This is a cloudy golden orange color
brew. With an aggressive poor a one
finger head form and the high carbonation held it for a nice while. In addition, this beer is highly transparent
you have no problem seeing right through it.
Finally, it leaves nice lacing the entire way down the glass.
Smell- Right off the nose you get nice amounts of
pineapple, peaches and even a little bit of pine. A little malt sweetness is also there, just
to bring the right balance to the brew.
With another sniff I am really getting more of the tropical notes with
some softer fruits such as pear presenting itself maybe even a little
floralness.
Taste- I am getting a nice floral and tropical hop
on the tip of the tongue. The pear
becomes much more clear and even a little bit of dark fruits. There is also a great malt sweetness to this
beer. Honestly the taste is much
different than what I got in the smell.
Mouthfeel- Very light to medium body, for being a
winter beer it feels more like a summer one.
However, it is very sessionable.
You cannot taste any of the alcohol which is expected and there is a
high drinkability.
Overall, this could be a big transition beer for
transferring being into the world of craft beer. Not my favorite beer for sure but I did enjoy
it. I probably would not buy it, but I
am glad I got to try it. CHEERS!
