Maisel & Friends Pale Ale

Maisel & Friends Pale Ale

Bottle

Ingredients: Water; Malt; Hops: Bittering - Herkules, Aromatic - Amarillo, Chinook, Citra, and Simcoe

Germans go American. With notes of hoppy citrus and malty caramel, our Maisel & Friends Pale Ale is both complex and super sessionable. True to its American stylistic roots, this fresh and fruity pale ale is packed full of hoppy goodness.

Hops Galore. Hops, hops, and more hops. Want a pale ale that packs a punch? We’ve got it! We tossed some bitterly-strong herkules into the boil and used the rest (4 others) for dry hopping to give you a poundable beer with tons of flavor.

3.2 Pale and slight steamy golden to amber view, hoppy but more decent ipa like smell. Strong hops underlined with dry grass notes and watery a bit soapy finish. Ok for a hot summer eve, mild fresh fruit.
3.3 It's okay
4.2 Very fresh, light and rich aroma taste
3.2 Bottle @ home.Clear yellow w a white head. Aroma medium malty (bread) and hoppy (citrus, spicy, piney). Flavor light to medium sweet, medium bitter, light spicy and flowery, long lasting bitterness. Medium body, average carbonated.
3.2 Bottle.Clear golden colour with off white head.Aroma of citrus and mild hops light graniy with mild fruity finish.
3.3 Flaske: orangegul øl med et fint skumhoved. Duften er maltet let humlet. Minder om en makro. Smagen er rimelig makro men langt mere bitter end hvadnoget makro kan præsterer. Alt i alt en old school pale ale uden de store dikkedarer.
3.3 Old rating from 19-04-16 - 330ml bottle brought in Berlin. Pours a clear golden colour with a off white head. Aromas of citrus & floral. Tastes of citrus, orange, grass, flora & malt leading to a citrus hopped light bitter finish
2.5 Jan 2021. For such a boring beer I seem to drink this a lot. I think it's because BeerWulf sell it so cheap, and I keep forgetting that I've already had it, and it's a rather innocuous beer. Ho hum. A lemony lager and lime type beer. A bit dry. [2.4] 2020. Lockdown May, Bank Holiday Monday, the day we tidied up the garden. This is a soft, inoffensive lager type beer. Call it an ale if you like, but it tastes like a lemony, watery lager. I'd take a Czech lager over this "pale ale" any day. [2.4] Sept 2019. 330ml dark bottle, unfiltered, from BeerWulf. A rather dry and boring beer. Boring name boring beer. Dull malt. Bitter. Dry. Boring. Did I say it was boring? Not for me. [2.5] Aug 2018. 330ml dark bottle, unfiltered, from BeerWulf (who are starting to increase their prices, so the happy days are over). This is a modern, dry pale ale with modern citric hops. Just too dry and fruity for me. Each to their own. I like my beers sweeter and maltier. But it's not offensive and it's not aggressive, and there is a kink in the hop selection which gives this a little twist that I like. [2.9]
3.0 Nice one
3.3 Bottle. Hazy deep golden colour with a medium fine pored white head, nose is hoppy, fruity and slightly malty with notes of grapefruit, pineapple and orange, taste is slightly sweet, citric and malty with a dry finish and a medium body.
3.2 Bottle from Beermerchants.com. Earthy hop, some sweet malt to balance, solid if unremarkable beer.
2.9 Aussehen: rötlich golden, klar (untypisch für pale ale), leicht carbonisiert, feine cremige weiße Krone Aroma: milde zitrus, süßlicher hopfen (?), orangenschalenbitter Antrunk: leichte kaum spürbare süße, Midtrunk: säuerlich, ins Bittere übergehend, tropische Frucht Nachtrunk: bitterer Nachgang, kein besonderes Mundgefühl Fazit: beworben als ein "Brett an Aromen" und tatsächlich liegt es wie ein Brett auf der Zunge, harte übergänge und etwas unbequehm, dabei aber nicht aktiv schlecht schmeckend.
4.0 Pours clear yellow gold. Looks like classic pils really. Fine head, but short lasting. Aroma hoppy. Lovely crisp dry hops bite fading with some balanced malty notes. Tangy aftertaste. Great German take on US IPA. Very good price. Highly recommended. Comes from Tegut supermarket as six pack. Tried August 2021 - no aroma, watery and bland... Certainly the bite's gone. Think a dodgy bottle as I've had it often and always enjoyed...
3.3 Bottle, small stable bubbly head, clear golden orange color, aroma of citrus, wood, hints of yeast and pine, flavor of citrus, biscuity maltiness and a soapy hint, light to medium herbal bitterness, light sweetness. Nice and drinkable.
2.5 Bien
3.0 33cl fles. Helder goudgeel van kleur, middelfijne romige witte schuimkraag. De geur is citrus en ananas. Smaak is zoet, citrus, perzik en mout. Licht body en veel koolzuur.
3.1 Bottle, I think from metro. Drunk while looking at the Dolomites from a balcony near kalterer see. Very clear golden beer, good head, very mild aroma of melon/citrus. Pretty uninspiring flavor, very easy to drink, moderate to low hop bitterness for a (non-India) pale ale. Bit of caramel hiding in there too.
3.3 Příliš hořké voňavé chmelové pivo, které může spoustě lidem vyhvovat, ale mě to přišlo až příliš ulpívající evropskými chmely. Každopádně good.
3.6 Освежаващ лек пейл ейл
3.4 Bottle. Pours a hazy orange colour with a thin white head, plenty of fruit especially orange in the aroma, the taste is medium bitterness and fruity with a dry bitter finish.
3.7 # 1915; 3/2020. Citrus, malts, tropical fruits. Gold, hazy body. Full body, crispy, citrus, lemon, tropical fruits. Pleasant, slightly sour finish. Very good APA. 0,3 l, bottle, market, Pilsen (Bohemia, CZ).
3.8 Das einfache Pale Ale geht neben manchen Aromenbomben der Maisel & Friends-Serie ein bisschen unter. Das ist aber nicht richtig. Es mag zwar nur ein PA sein, aber geschmacklich ist wirklich gut gelungen. Es hat wunderbare grasiges Hopfennoten und ein volles, tanzendes Aromenspiel. Hat mir wirklich gut geschmeckt.
3.4 (330ml bottle, Berlin) AROMA: light to moderate hops, leans towards green/grass hops, not really citrus, underlying smokey/nutty grain, leather. APPEARANCE: honey golden light amber, thick billowy foam, clear, good visible carbonation TASTE: fruity hoppy, leaning towards berry or stone fruit, easy maltiness, not too complex or layered, just an average amount/level of flavor PALATE: medium body, mostly soft and smooth, quite creamy and fluid, a bit flat on the palate eventhough has a lot of visible bubbles OVERALL: a solid and very drinkable pale ale, nice hop nose without being overbearing, nothing too in your face, a bit simple/light for hardcore pale ale drinkers, but worth try (could be an every day ... similar to an All Day IPA).
3.0 Buona pale ale, fruttata, poco carbonata, dissetante.
3.3 0.33 l bottle. Pours deep golden with medium frothy head. A: fruity, yoghurt T: mild carbonated, light body, bitter, hoppy
2.8 Cerveza de cuerpo y carbonatación media. Tiene una cabeza espumosa de dos dedos con buena retención. Aroma herbáceo y cítrico. En boca destaca mas el cítrico pero en una buena dosis.
3.6 Lichtbruin bier met schuim. Smak is bitter hoppig en licht zoet met iets van grapefruit. Mooie smaak balans van zoet en bitter.
3.4 Aroma; hops, tangerine, pomerance, herbs, pale malt. Look; fawn head, hazy orange body. Taste; solid juicy hops, tangerine, pomerance, fruity herbs, pale malt, and finishes balanced. Feel; good body, ok co². Overall; hops in good shape. [ btl @im hauslicher Umgebung] 6374'14
