Sankt Gallen Pale Ale Aroma & Taste
Sankt Gallen Pale Ale had such a frothy head to it that it took ages to settle. You could have put a stick in the beer and it would have stayed upright. The body was a slightly hazy golden colour and the head was a nice clear white colour. As Sankt Gallen Pale Ale is an American pale ale, the usual hoppy nose was first and foremost the strongest aroma to come through. Citrus notes and a slightly biscuity nose also came through as well.
After watching the beer settle, which took a while, I was a little disappointed in the strength of the taste. Not that is was bland by any means. More that with such a forward nose, I expected the body to follow suit. Sankt Gallen Pale Ale had a hoppy taste to it with some more citrus flavours to it, but the most interesting taste was the caramel flavour. It finishes off more towards the bitter end and left me wondering, did I enjoy it?
Sankt Gallen Pale Ale One-Line Review
Sankt Gallen Pale Ale is a puzzling beer that verges on an APA and an English pale ale but isn’t quite sure what it is.

I agree with you here- at first I was overjoyed with the expectation of a faceful of citrusy hops, but the watery body was a disappointment.
