Had this as a 6oz sampler at the Allison Park, PA location. Was called "North Park Pale Ale" but I think it is the same beer.

Appearance: Clear golden amber color. Strong off-white head with good lacing.

Smell: Nice US hop aroma with some caramel malts in the background.

Taste: Hops hit first with a citrus/floral pop. Slight caramel sweetness in the middle with a smooth, mild hop finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium body with some tignly hop oils and carbonation.

Drinkability: Quite smooth for a hoppy pale ale. Marzoni's seems to specialize in smooth tasting beers.

Serving type: on-tap

Draught @ Brewpub. This one pours a cloudy amber color, without much of a head. There was no lacing to speak of. It has a milder aroma. Mainly notes of some malt and some hops. It was somewhat grapefruity, but not very strong. The taste is decent enough. It has a medium malt boy, with a somewhat bitter taste. It has a good balance and is fairly smooth. A touch dry in the finish. A good drinker.

Appearence: Pours a cloudy copper color with a decent white head that dies down to a thin collar. Very attractive and lively looking.

Smell: A pleasent, intruiging mixof floral and earthy hops greet the nose with a strong malt background. A+ for balance!

Taste and Mouthfeel: Picture perfect pale ale flavor! Nice floral hops, albiet strong and flavorful, are balanced perfectly by a bready, grainy malt flavor. Again, A+ for balance! Goes down like water. Smooth, flavorful, intruiging, and balanced - just what I like in a pale ale.

Drinkability and Overall: One of the best Marzoni's brews I've had. From watching the bartender pour the drafts, it seems like this one gets passed up. Well don't. If you're looking for an in-your-face hop monster, or and overly sweet and alcoholic malt bomb, this is not what you want. But if one can appreciate subtly, balance, and simple good taste, try it.

Serving type: growler
