Euphoria Pale Ale

Brewery: Ska Brewing
Supplier: Beers of Europe

Brewed during the winter along with a neighboring company "Venture Snowboards". This is a pale ale is made with lots of caramel malts, and hops providing a grapefruit hop aroma and flavor. I served this chilled.
Appearance: Not really pale more of an amber/brown colour with a short lived off-white head.
Aroma: Huge sweet resin notes, coupled with peach and raisin notes.
Flavour: Lots of grapefruit like hop notes with a sweet caramel malt note
Body: A bit too sticky but with a great carbonation level.
Aftertaste: A little hoppy bitterness with some spicy alcohol notes and a little bit of soap.

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, nice but there are some overpowering flavours, manly the alcohol notes, making not sessionable.

Price Range: £2.59 for a 355ml can, an OK price for this beer.

Food Pairings: I don't know if this is just a craving but I think this would go well best with mash potato of sausages.
