4.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Great easy drinking beer, particularly for the summer. Nice full body and lots of sweet flavor sort of like a cider. I doubt I would drink this year round, but its perfect on a hot day. My girlfriend loves this beer as well, probably because its so fruity.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
My Bottom Line:
Fizzy and fruity, this Belgian-style Ale is clean, and is as drinkable as it is forgettable.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A slice of foam laces atop the hazy orange.
-Malts are absolutely nameless throughout.
-Orange peel could have been used, but this flavour might be a product of the yeast.
-I had actually ordered a Belgian-style Ale from Drake’s, but the waitress brought me this instead. Oy.
-Some wooden and floral hops appear in the finish, accompanied by mild caramel.
On tap at Rogue Ales Public House, SF.

A good fresh summer ale. Doesn’t have the hops to really live up to its "pale ale" name, but is more comparable to a lager in body and a slightly peachy wheat in flavor.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
Tap at Paradiso Dupont. Poured a clear deep orange with a thin, white head that dissipates to nothing. Smells like dishwater. Taste of dishwater, cardboard, seltzer water with a hint of fake orange flavor. Hilariously bad. Worse than Bruery Coton. Can’t wait for a Bruery Avery epic collaboration.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Not a fan. Pours burnt orange with a medium sized white head that leaves good lace. Smells plain and subdued, some sweet caramel malts and cereal with a solid dose of dishwater. Tastes sweet and caramelly, slight cereal. Tastes ok. Light, coating body, subdued carbonation.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz.
A: Pours a deep amber with a white foamy head.
S: Apples and pears with a light malt finish.
T: Very fruity, but only the pear actually comes through with some other sweet fruit, perhaps pineapple?
M: Very light body and good carbonation.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
355 ml bottle. Slightly dim, dark orange body with a diminishing off-white head. Aroma is light fruity with peaches and also some caramel. Flavor is a bit sweet malty with some caramel, fruit and light hoppy. Drinkable, but quite average in many ways.
2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
For the life of me, the aroma is just too weak to truly get ahold of anything. Odd.
Average appearance of golden amber, nothing special.
Sweet, something else I can’t put my finger onbut it tastes decent enough.
Light mouth feel and much carbonation, we’re talking soda levels folks.
Will have to buy more for a true rating, this shall be a placeholder.
