Description:
Anything but a typical American Pale, Santa Fe Pale Ale is as full bodied as its most robust English counterparts, while asserting its American origin with a healthy nose resplendent with Cascade and Willamette hops. It finishes with a well-balanced combination of the subtle, almost Pilsner-like maltiness accentuated by the German yeast used to brew this Santa Fe classic, and a hop bite sufficient to leave a lingering smile on the face of any fan of American Pale Ales.

Appearance - 4.5
Pours a nice clear light golden orange. An inch of creamy white head floats on top. It has great retention and leaves some thick lacing. There is visible carbonation.
Aroma - 3.5
The aroma has a a nice mix of hoppiness including light citrus, lemon and a bit of grassiness. There is a bready malt present as well.
Mouthfeel - 4.0
Light in body with active carbonation. Crisp and tingly in the mouth.
Taste - 3.0
The taste opens up with the bready malts and a light sweetness. The hops than take over with a combination of grass, citrus and lemon. The lemon and grass flavors hit the hardest with the citrus taking the back seat.
Overall - 3.0
This is a very refreshing, easy to drink beer. It's pretty good, but doesn't offer anything special. It would make a great gateway beer for someone who only drinks macros.
