Barley & Hops Brewery - Annapolis Rocks Pale Ale Review


Type: American Pale Ale



Type: American Pale Ale

ABV: 6%

Color: Clean golden yellow with a darker tint and a light hue of orange. The head was not there, but on the second pour out of the growler it was better.

Aroma: Mellow at hop nose with some mild citrus and pininess popping through on deeper inhale.

Taste: Light Bitter with more malt from behind. Alcohol and citrus intermingle but aren't as pronounced as one might expect. Malt breads it up a bit on second sip, but that just makes it heavier than it should be.

Overall: Second tasting from Barley and Hops Brewery and unlike the first review of Barley and Hops - Hoptopsy ESB, this one was basic and uninteresting. Mouthfeel is medium to full and no in your face distinct flavor to make me go Ohh or Ahh about. I will though get another growler when i am near Frederick because I have faith that they will come through again.

Score: 6.8/10
