Evan's weekly choice: Flying Monkeys Hoptical Illusion Almost Pale Ale
Look - 4.5 Smell - 4.25 Taste - 4.5 Feel - 4.25 Overall - 4.5
Look - This pale ale was poured from a 355 ml bottle into a clear pint glass. When poured it has a clear dark copper colour with about 2 fingers of tan head that dissipates very quickly after pour. It shows signs of medium carbonation throughout the beer. As the head starts to disappears, it left a thin layer of lacing around the pale ale.
Smell - When first poured the pale ale had a caramel and toffee type of aroma from the malts. When I took a second sniff of the pale ale, I was able to smell a piney and citrus smell of hops.
Taste - The beer starts off with a nice crisp taste. Then it is followed up by a delicious caramel malt taste with hints of citrus hops that aren't too strong.
Feel - It has a medium carbonated feel that goes down nice and smooth due to the light to medium body of the pale ale. It has a nice silky feel to it.
Overall - I loved this beer and would recommend it to everyone! Since this brand is from the Barrie area, you could say that I am a bit biased towards this beer. This beer showed all signs of a succulent pale ale and shows why it is a winner in my books. I would recommend enjoying this beer in any type of situation. So make sure you go out and try this delicious pale ale.
