Commercial Description:
Our light copper pale ale has a delicate malt attribute balanced by an aggressive hop flavor and aroma. Many American micros have developed their own version of this classic English style beer. Our brewers anticipate that you will enjoy their variation.

Bottled Jun 07. Poured copper in color with a fizzy, off-white head that settled quickly. Sweet malts in the aroma with light hints of floral. The flavor is also sweet with caramel and honey. Medium body and lively carbonation. A little sweet all around for an APA. (Rating from Sept ’07)

Bottle courtesy of sloth. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells resiny with some caramel malt. Tastes of resin with a dry malty undertone on the finish.

This pale ale was a little bit dry for me. It had sort of a zesty citrusy taste to it. A little bit disappointed.

Slightly cloudy orange color. Decent white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Flavor is a little faint but there is some caramel malt and citrus fruit in there. Medium bodied and pretty smooth. Not incredibly extraordinary, however.

Bottle. Poured a clear amber color with a very thin white head. Aroma of flowery hops and slight caramel. Flavor was malty with a slight citrus note. Very thin and harsh.

draft @ gettysburg... pale amber brown color topped by a thin white head and drippy lacing. aromas of caramel-y malty grain and floral generic hops. it smells lightly bitter but quite faint. the flavor is caramel, grain, honey, light citrus and a touch sweet. mildly bitter herbal hoppy finish. medium body with lively carbonation.
