Schools Out, Mike Gives Epiphany Pale a 3.2

Our second installment of Staff Beer Ratings, a brand new program at The Beer Authority that hopes to give a voice to our talented beer staff, is from Mike.  Several times a week we'll be posting ratings by each of our staff (and occasionally myself) on bottled beers in the store.  We're using the ratebeer.com system so that many of you can have a comparison basis for their picks.  The beers they pick are compensated by the store and we've encouraged them to choose new and/or interesting beers.

Old Schoolhouse Epiphany Pale



Commercial Description: A medium-bodied pale ale with moderate bitterness and modest citrusy hop aroma. This is a good beer to start with when building up the courage for the stronger beers. Epiphany pale may even support some seekers on their path to enlightenment.

3.2  Aroma: 6  Appearance: 3  Taste: 6  Palate: 2  Overall: 15

This is a nice little beer from Winthrop, WA.  It pours a bright copper color with very little head.  Not much hop aroma or bite, but a nice malt sweetness with just enough hops in the finish to balance nicely.  This beer isn't going to knock your socks off but it's a well crafted - if mild - pale ale.
