Shoals Pale Ale

Brewer: Smuttynose Brewing Co.
ABV: 5.4%
IBU: 30
Serving type: 12oz bottle

Ap: Copper/amber. One finger of offwhite head. Excellent clarity. Decent lacing.

Ar: Rich, piney hop notes. Caramel malts.

T: Strong piney/citrus hop presence. Seems more bitter than the 30 IBU listed. Could use more malt character.

M: Very smooth, light to moderate carbonation.

I: The hop to malt ratio is a little high for my taste, but all in all, a pretty good beer.

My score: 4/5
Beer Advocate: B+
Rate Beer: 89/100
Pintely: 3.3/5
