Temple Brewing Pale Ale

Next up: the ubiquitous Pale Ale (American edition).

Kind of sweetish malt aroma, pretty gentle beneath a creamy head. At first taste I thought the curse of sweet malt had ruined this one, but then Mr Pepper (Sgt Pepper? Cpt Pepper? Dr Pepper ??) arrives to save things toward the end with a bit of briskness to balance. There's less fruit in this than a lot of others - less than is suggested from the aroma, definitely - but more malt. Quite dry, possibly due to hop choice.

This is definitely an American Pale Ale as advertised and a reasonable example thereof. 6.5
