AleSmith San Diego Pale Ale .394
AleSmith dialed in the recipe resulting in an extremely drinkable 6% ABV Pale Ale with light bitterness and accentuated hoppiness designed to fill the gap between AleSmith X Extra Pale Ale and AleSmith IPA. This San Diego Pale Ale will showcase abundant piney and citrusy hop aroma and flavor from an intense dry-hopping schedule. A balanced malt profile will round out these hoppy flavors with a biscuity finish to enhance drinkability throughout the innings.
The name “394” (.394) references the highest single-season batting average Gwynn set back in 1994. Note *** in 1941 Ted Williams batted .406, Williams was the last player to bat .400 in a season. ***. Ready to be released at the June 6th Padres Beerfest, San Diego Pale Ale 394 will reflect the commitment to excellence shared by the legendary Tony Gwynn and the AleSmith team.

Pint CaN made on 11/15/22 - nose is caramel, grass, and resin. Sip adds little. Decent bitterness.
A bit hazy golden color with medium off-white head. Aroma caramel, grass, tropical fruits and citrus. Taste is malty sweet with long quite bitter and dry aftertaste. Flavors of caramel, grass, citrus and malt.
Hadn't seen this one before and got it from leftovers from a work conference my wife was attending. Great piney hop aroma from a slightly hazy medium yellow/orange body with an almost whipped cream fluffy white head. The piney hops follow into the taste with a solid flavor and medium bitterness. Sweet caramel malt balances this perfectly. There's a little orange and lemon near the end too. Finishes with a lasting but light bitterness and residual sweetness. Tasty, easy to drink but not in a pedestrian way. Everything here is spot-on American pale ale.
Orange, caramel malt, and orange peel aroma. Slightly hazy golden yellow with giant off-white head. Moderately sweet orange caramel malt, and moderately bitter orange peel flavor. Good body.
473 ml can from Small Batch Dispatch. Pours a cloudy deep orange colour with modest-sized whiteish head. Aroma is citrus and pine with gently toasty biscuit. Flavour has grapefruit, gently toasted biscuit, some pine and a little caramel. Medium plus bodied. Nice.
16 ounce can from Ernie's in Lexington. A bright orange pour. Light in body with light malt and maybe a bit of pine.
Hoppy with a rich malty taste to balance it out. Nice.
Aroma: piney, citrus fruit.
Appearance: clear light amber color with a one-fingered beige head.
Taste: piney, citrus fruit, biscuity malt, medium-low sweetness, medium bitterness.
Palate: medium-high carbonation, moderate dryness in the finish.
Overall: classic American pale ale, with a solid hop profile and good drinkability. nice choice for summer night.
Can at LCBF 2022, Tobacco Dock. Clear mid golden. Old school west coast. Lightly bitter. Malty.
2 finger porous off-white head. Dissipates at a fast but steady pace. Small bits of lacing.
Clear, amber coloured beer.
Aroma of lemon drops, candied orange peels, hint of pineapple, hint of mint and rosemary.
Taste of grains, lemon, grapefruit, hint of green tea, ginger & honey.
Mouthfeel is full bodied but with a hollow finish. Drinkable. Medium-low bitterness. Low carbonation.
Overall: Just a citrusy Pale Ale, unextravagant and borderline dull.
Probably has a time and a place but that for sure isn't to sip it on its own.
Taste and aroma of malt, hops and yeast. A little bitter.

Clear golden color with foamy white head. Aroma of pine, hops, citrus and malt. Taste is smooth and clean with malts, hops, pine and some citrus. Finishes mildly bitter. Medium body, high carbonation. Smooth and easy to drink, very good.
God syrlig smak
Proffs!
A small bottle from Jason's in the basement of Taipei 101, drunk at home several days ago. Aroma: malty, very inviting. Appearance: clear dark amber, generous bubbles. Palate: light-bodied and slick, soft carbonation, bitter finish. Taste: medium-bitter, very well-balanced, some vanilla and biscuit. Quaffable.
Piney citrus hoppy aroma with fair amount of biscuity malt.
Pours a hazy copper color with small frothy off white head.
Piney hop flavor with bready malt.
Medium bodied with medium co2, lingering piney hop.
Pretty sure this is an old can. Nonetheless easy enough to drink. Hop flavors very muted though. Never mind date on bottom. Only four months old.
Golden, clear with a medium white head. Hoppy, citrus and caramel aroma. Medium bitter wirh a semi dry hop and floral end. Like
Burk från SB. Gyllengul klar vätska med lågt vitt skum. Doft och smak av karamell, tallskott och citrus. Bra balans, rena smaker, drickvänlig, snäll beska. Fint djup i karamellsmaken. Gott
Oklar halmgul med tjockt vitt skum. Doftar fruktigt, lite tallkåda och citrus. Smaken besk, lite söt. Eftersmaken lång med markant ihållande beska, någon sötma. Mer IPA än APA.
Fin gyllene färg och med vitt skum. Härlig balanserad arom av citrus, tall och frukt. Balans är nyckelordet både i arom och smak, den är varken för parfymerad eller fruktig av humle och med medium till fyllig kropp och maltighet som motvikt mot humlen. Lättdrucken och välbalanserad, mycket fin!
Wow that’s nice pale ale.
Good pale ale that’s clean body and smooth very very easy drinking.
Tasting is piney, a little bit citrus. And over all is very very good.
Very very nice pale ale also notable.
Draught at Sea world. Pours amber brownish. Clean malty hops, grapefruit resin and pine
Burk från Systembolaget. Bärnstensfärgad med luftigt smutsvitt skum. Kola och kåda i doft och smak
0,355 l can from Systembolaget Södertälje. Very good American Pale Ale, specially after evening run.
Amber color, large beige head. Aromas of malt, grapefruit, spruce, sponge cake and slight resin. Taste of citrus, malt, spruce and slight resin.
Burk. Karamell, blött gräs, vanilj och kåda. Stor sötma. Medium beska. Lite oljig munkänsla.
Nice aroma of some sweet malt and slightly catty hops. Nice deep gold color with a huge off white head. Bread like sweetness up front. Roasted caramel quickly followed by a pine and grassy bitterness. We’ll balanced. Light to medium mouthfeel with caramel hop finish. TG would like this one.
Burk 355 ml från Systembolaget. Guldfärgad med vitt skum. Doft av aprikos och ananas. Smak av humle, aprikos, ananas och kåda. Tydlig beska. extremt bra APA, men blir inte förvånad då jag druckit andra öl från samma bryggeri.
Riktigt fyllig och god. Mogen frukt.
Canned from Systembolaget
