(New Canaan, CT) – Received this note from Charter Oak Brewing Company regarding a new beer release. Details below…

—

The Connecticut based brewery, Charter Oak Brewing Company, recently released its newest style to the Connecticut craft beer market, Royal Charter Pale Ale. This is an American West Coast Pale Ale style illustrating an upfront citrus nose and a well balanced yet back end bittering taste, to the tongue. The Royal Charter Pale Ale will serve to be a wonderful, sessionable beer at 5.5% alcohol by volume and a full head of foam that will last for the entire 12oz pour.

The Royal Charter Pale Ale is the second style to be introduced by the brewery, following the successful launch earlier this year of their 1687 Brown Ale. The operation will continue to introduce new styles throughout 2013 and forecast a total of 8 styles.

Look for the Royal Charter Pale Ale at your favorite liquor store, restaurant, and bar in both bottles and on draft.

Charter Oak Pale Ale

Charter Oak’s Royal Charter Pale Ale beer (named after the Connecticut charter hidden in the Charter Oak Tree) is the little brother to our IPA, but still brewed with plenty of flavor and hops. This top fermented ale will be solidly an American Pale Ale style; not too sweet and not too bitter, but complex enough to not disappoint you. From your first sip and scent of a citrus and floral aroma, a solid backbone of the Cascade Hop can be detected. We hope you will enjoy this well balanced, medium bodied, and deep golden appearance in our Pale Ale. We can assure you it is not intensely hopped up, but only a subtle bitterness and dry finish. This is a beer you can drink all night long!
