The flavour is malt-driven, with some dark fruit elements, built against a modest, dank bitterness and some metallic tang.
This
was a hard ale to rate, given that it had a unique flavour and dark hue
that set it apart from the glut of Ontario pale ales, but a unusual
taste that wasn't at all crisp or refreshing. The maltiness made me
think English-style, but it wasn't really that. A bit of an oddball ale,
I nonetheless enjoyed Transatlantic Pale. Not session-friendly nor
strong and surly, there was a lot to like and a lot to dwell on.
Certainly a beer worth revisiting!
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
