Geary's Pale Ale













Brewery: D.L. Geary in Portland, Maine
Style: Pale Ale (Considered their flagship beer)
Taste: Mixture of mild malt with a slight bitterness in the dry finish.  Overall,  a pleasing combination for your taste buds. Lacks a strong aroma but don't let that fact mislead you in selecting this brew.  It is a top notch pale ale.
Color: Amber & caramel  hues glisten in the glass.
Thickness: Mild body with a less than quarter inch white head on the pour. Balanced carbonation.
Mom Factoid:  Given that September is when school  starts up, I decided to go 'old school' with this selection of a Maine craft beer.  D.L. Geary's has a rich & long history when it comes to microbrewing in Portland, Maine and it claims to be the FIRST microbrewery on the East Coast.  For a more detailed description of their past, check out this link: http://gearybrewing.com/pages/history.php
Also, in anticipation of things to come in their future, they announced, today, via Twitter & Facebook, that a new Third Silver series draught, Hudson Red, will be available next week!  Cheers to what they've brewed in the past & to what they will brew in the future!
