St. Terese’s Pale Ale

I picked up a bottle of St. Terese's Pale Ale from Highland Brewing Company as part of a mixed sixer last week.  If you follow this blog much, you can see that I don't often buy pale ales, but I do get some occasionally.  It's not because I don't like them though... it's just because I prefer malty beers most of the time.  This beer is an American style pale ale which is more balanced between the hops and the malts than the India pale ales.  The St. Terese's Pale Ale poured a very nice golden color with a thick foamy head.  The head maintained itself well throughout this drink and laced the glass nicely.  This beer rings in at 5.2% ABV and 24 on the IBU scale, so the hop presence is well stated but not overpowering in this delicious brew from Highland.  I will eventually try their Kashmir IPA which boasts an IBU rating of 60 :)  The St. Terese's will definitely make the drink-again list...
