Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale

Evan's weekly choice: Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale


Look - 4  Smell - 3   Taste - 2.5  Feel - 3  Overall - 3

Look - This India pale ale was poured from a 355 ml green bottle into a clear pint glass. When poured it has a clear light golden yellow colour with about 1 finger of bright fluffy white head that dissipates quite fast but never fully disappears. It shows signs of high carbonation throughout the beer. As the head starts to disappears, it left a thin layer of lacing around the India pale ale.

Smell - When first poured the India pale ale was very light on the nose. It had a bready caramel and floral smell with a hint of corn and grassy aroma.

Taste - The beer had a mild sweetness that was kind of sour. It was kind of bitter so I could not pin down any kind of real flavour to it.

Feel - It has a high carbonated feel with a fairly light body that felt a bit dry.

Overall - This beer was just another average India pale ale. I felt like it did not have the stronger taste that most India pale ales have. It was too sweet and didn't give off any distinct taste that would make me want to purchase it again.
