We figured it's time to get back to our roots here at Chopbiscuit and continue the reviews of The World's Best draughts. We're often seen walking our pints throughout town and cuddling with our favorite Belgium's at the Cinema. Beer is our canvas and we paint that canvas by drinking more beer. We have poked fun at our favorite canned beers in the past, but ultimately we love the best in craft beer brewing. Whether it's a Belgium White, American Brown Ale, Japanese Rice lager or an oatmeal stout - We enjoy a good beer and a firm hand shake. So, let's continue the exposition with our reviews.
Brewery: Peak Organic Brewing Company - Portland, ME
Beer: Pale Ale
Beer style description: American Pale Ale
Color: Medium Gold/Copper
ABV: 5.05%
IBU: 44
I was turned on to Peak Organic from a local friend. Initially I was curious about the brand because of it's commitment to local ingredients and sustainable practices. Peak Brewing Company is a brewery that's committed to using the best ingredients possible for their handcrafted Ales. Peak's Pale Ale surprisingly became one of my favorite Pale Ales because of it's subtle caramel notes and smoothness. It's less hop forward than most, but I believe this adds to the dimension of the flavor.
The Ale has a solid pale malt scent along with a touch of Munich malt sweetness and a light to mild hop aroma. The taste, in my opinion, is right smack dab where a good American Pale Ale should be. The light pale malt flavor goes down easy and finishes with a touch of dryness and a light to mild bitterness.
It's the perfect Pale Ale, plain and simple.
