Mishawaka Brewing Lake Effect Pale Ale
Mishawaka, IN
5.8% ABV
Appearance: Transparent yellow body, some bubbles from carbonation, but with absolutely zero head. 2.0/5
Smell: Much better here. Rich, malty, with caramel undertones. Strong hoppy aroma. Reminds me more of Dead Guy than any pale ale I've ever had. High marks for impressiveness, though. 4.5/5
Taste: Sweet with apples but quite tart, borderline sour, with a dry yeasty aftertaste. There's a lot going on here, but it's a cacaphony rather than a symphony. 3.0/5
Mouthfeel: Thin, but it does coat the palate on the finish. 3.0/5
Drinkability: This doesn't really work as a pale ale. I'd rather think of this as an amber. 3.0/5
Overall: 3.1/5
