Kirkland Signature Pale Ale: Review

Another review of flavored water.
Why did I buy this case.
Appearance: A good looking clear pale amber color with a nice looking white head. Leaves nice lacing on the glass. Forget it after this.

Smell: uneventful. Little hop citrus and slight malty nose.

Taste: Wow, is that water! The Kirkland line of beers have a big watery style. Then, they add a little flavoring. A little dry citrus taste and a little sweet malt. Nothing that stands out but, that water is fresh!

Mouthfeel: The watery style cleans the palate fairly well from overpowering flavor of ... water. Ok, it has a little dry citrusy bit and a strange taste of sugar. I swear once in a while on the aftertaste I get a table sugar taste.

Drinkable: For me I'll pass. The german and hefe were a little more drinkable.

Save your money and go buy, at least, good beer.

Update: Tried to drink the last bottle of Pale Ale from this case last night and drinking this beer with a good pretzel helped the taste of this pale ale. The salt helped to bring out that bitter bite of the hops. If you try this beer make sure you are eating – all alone they are boring.
