Day 125: Headwaters Pale Ale


Name: Headwaters Pale Ale
Brewery: Victory Brewing Co. (Downington, PA)
Classification: American Pale Ale
Alcohol: 5.1%

Thoughts: No special story here, I'm just going to get into the review. It pours a pale amber with a good foamy white head and a bit of lace. The nose has some nice grapefruit coming forward with lightly toasted malt and a touch of fruit. The taste has grainy malt and citric hops on the front end of the palate. It is balanced nicely as to not have too many malts or too few hops. There is more fruity sweetness and a little tartness in the middle of the palate. Bitterness and malts come back into play along with hops and bready malts leading the charge ton the back end. It is a pretty strong flavor and I don't mean that to be a good thing. It makes it less drinkable and it wasn't as enjoyable as other APAs. 

Rating: 79/100
