I realized that I need to go through some of my lower alcohol beers since they wouldn't hold up to the test of time like some of the others. In this case, I decided to try the Blackstone Chaser Pale Ale. The beer poured a nice golden yellow color, with a slightly off-white head. I usually go with a vigorous pour and was able to get a finger and a half. Light retention, not much lacing except for some leftover film. Aroma of the brew was very light. Some malts, maybe some straw or bread?
The taste is very similar to the aroma. I can taste the malts, a little bit of hop finish, some bread and straw. Slightly sweet, very subtle. Light bodied, medium carbonation. I think this type of beer would do well in the spring or summer time. July 4th parties, that sort of thing. I liked it, but I didn't find it too impressive. I'll continue to sample others in the meantime.
Grade: C+
Price Paid: $1.79 (12 oz bottle)
