Track Town Triple Jump Pale Ale

This pale ale is from the Eugene City Brewery, an offshoot of Rogue Ales of Newport, Oregon.  This is a brewery they reopened in Eugene, Oregon at the site of the Eugene City Brewery, originally built in 1866.  It was taken over by Henry Weinhard in 1890.  The original building was torn down in 1914 and rebuilt across the street.

The beer pours a slightly hazy orange amber in color.  There is almost no head.  The aroma is fruity, plums and orange, slightly tart.  The taste is light caramel malt and light plum fruit, with just a hint of strawberry.  The finish is moderately bitter.  It is carbonated yet watery at the same time.  This is an English style of pale ale and frankly a mediocre job of it.
