Brewery: RJ Rockers Brewing Co
Location: Spartanburg, SC
Beer Name: Patriot Pale Ale
Style: American Pale Ale
ABV: 6.0%
IBU: NA
The beer was poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a very nice thick white head. There was good head retention and light lacing left on the glass. The aroma beckons of herbal and floral hops with a note of orange citrus with faint undertones of light caramel malt. The flavor begins with a mellow woodsy bitterness with soft splashes of citrus that moves into a bready biscuit taste that ends with a slightly caramel sweetness. The body is in the medium-low category and a brisk carbonation lends a crisp mouthfeel.
Overall a decent version of an American pale ale. The moderate bitterness and character profile of the hops used gives it a nice balance to the slight sweetness. A slight dull metallic taste lingers with the bitterness at the end but does not distract. Very drinkable, but for my taste it could be a little more hop forward.
