Tap - good size foamy head, medium amber color, smooth almost creamy texture, decent hop flavor - better than I expected

Clear golden with a creamy white head. Faint malty aroma. A lightly pine and caramel taste with a sweet finish.

not a bad beer brewed by a casino sports bar. color is good and has a decent taste.

Sampler at the brewpub. Clear copper with a nice white head. Aroma of citrus hops. Tastes of light citrus hops, just a touch of bitterness. Nothing special.

Sampler @ the brewpub, called Face Off Pale Ale. Completely clear copper color. Diacetyl peaking through the lemon pledge hops. Taste losses something from the hops and becomes more stingy hoppiness, some caramel malts, some light diacetyl.

They should stick with lagers. I thought this was one of the weakers beers that they serve. Severely lacking in character, with a light watery malt background., some light citrus hoppiness. Has a flavor like those bottled fruity artifical iced teas.

For $2.50 while playing craps I can’t complain. It’s much like Boulevard’s Pale Ale but a bit lighter flavor. I was just happy to get something other than macroswill at a casino.

An off white head topped a dark gold body. The aroma was grapefruit with a hint of dark bread. The taste was oranges with some light toast and a hint of iced tea. This is not bad, but could use more character.

On tap at the brewpub, 2/20/06: Copper colored with a decent sticky head. Nice fruity appeal with maybe a hint of peach? Good.
