Philadelphia Pale Ale



Yards Brewing Company

Philadelphia Pale Ale - 4.6% ABV

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.0

"Not to be boastful, but we honestly believe that all other ales pale in comparison to this one. Brewed with pilsner malt, Philadelphia Pale Ale is crisp and hoppy, bursting with citrus flavors and aromas."

So as the description said it's a Pale Ale but brewed with pilsner malts. Rather different. Nice frothy head with a more subtle aroma of citrus and pine. Doesn't really blow ya away with the aroma. As far as taste goes this one is pretty solid. It's a bit hoppier for a regular Pale Ale. Tastes and looks almost like a pilsner I think. It has a crisp and clean hoppy citrus taste right away with a slightly bitter floral and malt flavor lingering. It's a bit misleading as you think it's a Pale Ale but tastes more like a slightly hoppier Pilsner. Regardless of what you call it this is a very good party/hanging out beer. Nothing fancy perhaps but if ya want a good beer to just chill with or share at a party this one will do. Not a high ABV percent either so you can pound down a few with no worries of falling over. Hopefully.
