Dec 26, 2008 Pours a dark copper with a white head. Slightly hoppy aroma with a decent balance of malts. Not anything special, but it is still a pretty average English pale ale.

Sep 21, 2008 12 oz. bottle from mixed 12 pack. Pours an amber color with a white head. Nose is grains and floral hops. Palate is pretty bland. Moderate carbonation and not much body. Flavor is bland too. Grains and some hop bite. Ok brew I guess. Sessionable at the very least.

Sep 21, 2008 Sample given to me by The_Captain from the bottom of his days old growler. Thanks Mark. Hazy iced tea pour, pretty flat by the time I had it. Earthy lemony smell. Taste of dough, earth, lemon, some bitterness. Pretty good and I am sure it would be even better fresh and carbonated.

Sep 15, 2008 In short: A slightly problematic style-less mess.
How: Bottle, consumed fresh a few days after purchase
The look: Cloudy orange body topped by a
In long: Nose of an unfermented wort. Taste of wet bread, vegetable notes, caramel, dough, sweet citrus juice. Basically an amateurish mess. Label says “The original American Ale”… and we sure have come a long way since then.

Aug 27, 2008 Bottle, from Forest City Liquors. Floral aroma with hops. Flavor starts with a citrus-sweet touch, mid-palate contributes some malty flavors, then finishes hoppy and mildly bitter. Quality session brew brew with not too much complexity but good flavor. Fot for $8.39/6 pack.

Aug 17, 2008 On tap at Barking Crab (Boston, MA). Pours a dark amber color with a thin off-white head. Head settles quickly with little lacing. Aroma is malty with notes of raisin and some honey. Flavor is malty-sweetness with some notes of barnyard and hoppy bitterness. Generally light body with a hoppy finish.

Aug 7, 2008 Tap at Ginger Man. Amber beer, slightly hazy and topped by a creamy white head. Aroma is lightly sweet and malty with a fairly prominent butterscotchy nose. A bit oxidized as well. There is a sweet crystal/caramel nuttiness behind a herbal/woody hoppiness. Flavour is quite hoppy with a light fuggles-esque character along with some lightly yeasty character. Bread crusts and a touch of pear/peachy fruitiness. Despite all of the positive individual characteristics, this beer never really comes together for me.
