UPDATED: MAR 17, 2020 Keg at DBA, New Orleans, LA on 23/06/2008. A nice pale ale, with some melon and satsuma notes on the aroma. Fairly crisp.

Pale blonde. Slightly vacant aroma, faint grassy hay malts. A little more bitter taste, but a bit weak. Palate is the best bit, cascade flavor remains. Pretty cool even if it is simple.

12oz bottle. Poured a a copper-orange color with a foamy white head. Aroma was light citrus, mostly sweet malt notes. Flavor was slightly earthy, light hop notes. Kind of middle of the road. Not bad, but nothing crazy.

From old tasting notes. Deep brassy gold color topped by a huge bubbly white head. Rich aromatic malt nose. Crisp bittersweet toasted malt flavor has a robust full character. Nice bitter hop finish balances this ale nicely.

12oz bottle into a Corsendonk tulip on 4th June 2016 while on holiday in California. Pleasant golden amber body, weak, thinning white head. Unassuming blend with not a lot going on to be honest, lightly hopped and light malts gave subtle or poor aromas and flavours:depending on your leanings.

UPDATED: OCT 16, 2015 Pours a pale golden color with a white head. Caramel, biscuit, floral, pine and fruit aroma and flavors. Medium body and carbonation with a floral and biscuit finish.

slightly sweet malty smell, light cloudy appearance, taste a mix of malt and hops, about 50/50, a bit too much hops for me, hops and malt only in taste...nothing distinctive beyond

12 Fl OZ ($7.99 6pack) this was an okay beer. better than a 2.5 but not by much. had a decent flavor going in but finished weird like a pale ale that thought it was an IPA.

used to be one of the best pales around, but has lost a step, so i have to rate it as it presently is. still a well blaanced pale, earthy hop aroma, and enough malts to balance the flavor. pretty clean if unspectacular."

Not a good beer for a pale ale. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
