3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
My faith in pale coloured ales is restored. My 2nd American beer, after Goose Island IPA yesterday. Pours golden with a fluffy white head that goes after about 10 minutes. Floral and citrus nose, bit of a pineapple. Quite malty, earthy hops in there. In the mouth its a medium carbonation but quite a nice mouthfeel. Dry finish. Very pleasant indeed.

Bottle. A nice American Pale Ale. Crisp and balanced. Malt flavors overshadow the hops just a bit. Medium bitterness from start to finish. Dry finish.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured into a pint glass. Had a very nice head with medium and small bubbles that lasted a good time. Has a great light golden hue. Aroma - Slightly citrusy, wheaty. Nice malty flavor. A bitter and slightly spicy aftertaste. Light to medium body. Carbonation was average. Overall pretty good for a summer ale. The spiciness would be great with the proper pairing.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: DEC 6, 2011 Aroma: floral, citrus. Appearance: golden, orange, hazy, white foam, minimal head. Taste: medium bitterness up front, stronger bitter/dry aftertaste but in a really good way (grassy), no typical IPA sweetness. Palate: medium feel, lively, long bitter finish. Overall: really good beer.

From Bottle. Pours golden with decent white head. Hoppy aroma, floral and citrus. Taste is similar with a caramel malt backbone. Quite thin. Decent overall
