Firestone Walker Double Barrel Ale.


A bit lighter than a copper ale, low carb, low head though it foams easily with a little swirling. Smell is a little lager-y. Taste has a twinge of American macro mixed in with very mild hopping, mostly malt up front. I guess that's the English way of doing pales. I think it's pretty lame. I don't even find many American pale ales I like, and this is more disappointing than any of those. Even as an amber ale, I wouldn't have much to say about it. Firestone Walker, who won best mid-size at World Beer Cup 2010, colour me not impressed. (Did you see what I did there?)
