Rouge Juniper Pale Ale:
Greetings friends, neighbors, fans of the brew craft, and curiosity seekers; today we get to try a flavored pale ale.  Yes you read that right, a flavored pale ale and this one is flavored with a nice mellow spice known as Juniper berries which among other things is a known adulterant.  Now don’t get excited, adulterants doesn’t mean anything like you think (or want) it to mean; it’s a term for an additive used to cut food quality.  Yeah, not that exciting but apparently in Ancient Rome, juniper berries were used to cut black pepper that was imported from India.  So knowing that, how does it taste in a beer?  Well read on and find out dear readers.  The beer pours a nice cloudy blonde color with a crisp white head that sticks around for most of the consumption and a nice hop nose with a gin undertone (yes juniper berries are part of the flavoring of gin).  The beers taste is pretty uniform on the front and middle tasting like a hop and semi-sweet flavor that is really hard to nail down though bubble gum did come to mind at certain times.  The back end and after taste is a mild hop with a spice undertone but both fade rather quickly when compared to other pale ales.  Not a bad beer, really a good intro beer to those who want to try something different but not too out of the norm.
