The Acme name is an apt one for this Pale Ale - serviceable, reliable but not outstanding. Light amber color with a small white head that dissipated quickly to a ring of of tiny bubbles around the edge of the glass leaving little lacing. Aroma is moderate malt with predominant floral hops and a hint of lemon. Nice mouthfeel, creamy and medium body with soft carbonation. Average to long hoppy finish with an intriguing metallic acidity. Indeed a "session" beer as the description claims.

Mar 21, 2010 Sweet, mild caramel and malt notes. Easy style of pale ale. Not overhopped at all. Not great, but I won’t complain while I’m drinking one. Would definitely have again.

Mar 9, 2010 Light malt flavors with a sweet candyish citrusness. Flavor then turns into cardboard. I am hard pressed to find hops in this. Bottle from ABC Liquors, Miami.

Mar 7, 2010 Pours amber-gold with a one-finger white head. Dish soap and citrus aroma, with caramel malt and a metallic touch. Weak flavour with some caramel in the beginning, a quick burst of citrusy hops, and then nothing but a slightly soapy aftertaste. Some honey is in there, but not enough to add any depth

Feb 15, 2010 Pours a lightly lacing beige head with a deep golden body. Aromas of herbal and grassy hops, some malt. Flavor is a little zesty, little grassy, some caramel notes. Finish is a little thin but with some bitterness and dry for a flash.

Feb 13, 2010 bottle... pours an average golden color with a quarter inch white head... aromas of apricot and light fruit... hardly any hops... medium body with more fruit notes, light sweet malts... short finish with barely any bitterness... a very weird pale ale...

Feb 11, 2010 Extra in a trade from BA, even though it’s pretty available locally. At any rate, this is an acceptable APA. Semi-soft aroma of bready malts and understated, tea-like hops. Moderately substantial body, flavor washes out somewhat quickly. Inoffensive and certainly not as bad as some of the ratings. But it is forgettable.
