City Pale Ale is a classic example of the American Pale Ale style. Brewed using premium 2-Row and lightly roasted Caramel malts, City Pale Ale exhibits a rich amber hue and complex malt character. Single variety hopping allows the fragrant, floral notes of the Cascade hops to shine through.

[1] Review by pfoxyjohn from Watertown, WI, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (4/8/2007 10:31:38 PM)
"The seasonal brews from City Brewery in LaCrosse are few in number but much better than their "core beer" offerings. This APA pours a dark golden color with a thick, creamy white head; long-lasting with fair lacing. The nose is all floral hops, although the aroma is merely suggestive rather than assertive. Smooth and one-dimensional rather than crisp and complex, with lightly sweet malt and timid hop presence. Flavor and finish are both a little thin; lacks the balance and rewarding finish of the finer pale ales, but still a fine local version of one of my favorite styles. "

"Medium amber color. Medium head. Aroma is malty and fruity. A medium bodied pale ale. Malts are a fruity and a touch sweet. Hops are grapefruity and piney. Sweetish and there is a odd aftertaste I can’t place. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. "
