A lot better than expected. Almost ideal Pale Ale flavor and appearance. Smell was very good as well, although not as strong as it could have been. Worth a trip to the casino to have, and be sure to get a growler to take home.

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.

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

A sensitive and gentle rendition of the pale ale, offered as a seasonal selection on the "private reserve" label at the brewpub. With its noticeable hop flavors and bitterness, it is a basic yet classic version of the pale ale. Keeps a head for a long time...overall nice.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
