Hurrican Reef Pale Ale

From the Florida Beer Company, we have the Hurricane Reef Pale Ale.  This beer is an American Pale Ale and is brewed with two-row barley and hops from the Pacific Northwest.  This is one of the beers that came in my first Beer of the Month club shipment and it’s taken me this long to blog about it.  That has nothing to do with how good or bad this beer is.  Rather, it goes to show you how lucky and busy I have been with all of the other beer I have come across.

The beer pours a nice golden color and had a pretty decent head for a pale ale.  It has some lacing but not a lot.  You can smell  both the malt and the hops as you pour it.  It has a nice aroma, not too strong but still nice.

The beer has a nice mouthfeel, it’s not thick but not thin either.  However, I think it is a bit too carbonated.  The taste is pretty clean and the flavor and bitterness of the hops is what comes across mostly.  It has a dry finish and the flavor lingers for quite awhile.  It lingers a bit longer than I would like.

It’s certainly an easy drinking beer but it didn’t blow me away either.  It’s better than some I have had but it isn’t spectacular.
