Pump House Igniter Pale Ale


Look: Amber color with minimal head

 

Taste: kind of bland, slight hopy flavor, but its barely noticeable

 

Conclusion: This beer was not “pale” enough for me. It has a good initial bite, but the malty finish ruins the beer. This beer won the 1999 G.A.B.F. Gold Medal, but I wonder what it was up against. I wish it had more bite and less sweet wash that always seems to ruin a beer. I guess the hopy and sweet offset to the point of blandness.

 

I was expecting a lot more from this gold medal winning micro brew from Denver, CO.

I give it a 4 out of 10
