Solid Pale out of Plymouth

Mayflower Brewing Company is somewhat of an underrated brewery in my opinion.  I’ve yet to taste a disappointing beer from this group.  Mayflower, for whatever reason reminds me of Cape Ann Brewery. Maybe is the working-class, fishing towns that they hail from on opposite shores. I think its the fact that they offer some of the most solid, no-frill ales in the Greater Boston area.

The Mayflower Pale Ale is an English Style Pale Ale, that pours with a very healthy head. Has a light herbal aroma, which after doing my Beer Advocate research, seems to be attributed from the East Kent Goldings Hops from England.

The taste is great – it’s a little maltier than I normally like for a Pale, but finishes so smoothly that you cannot complain. Overall, this is a extremely solid Pale Ale out of Plymouth’s Mayflower Brewing Company.

THE GRADE: B+
