Sweet aroma of poppy seeds. Thick caramel color and smooth with a malt flavor. The body of this beer tends to swirl over the palate - carbonation is ’snappy’. Very refreshing. Felt like a 12oz size would be more appropriate though.

Clear color, light carbonation, decent foam. Aroma of fruit and peppery spice. Palate is smooth but light. Mild caramel and biscuit at the front, turns sugary. Light hop bitterness in the finish. Thought this was going to be crap, nice surprise.

A little odd. The pepper makes it odd. The malts are light but the hops balance everything out very nicely.

Brewtopia 2004: Clear orange with a white head. Yeasty taste with some light bittering hops. Medium bodied, starts and ends lightly bitter. Dry and crisp finish.

A cloudy amber-yellow beer with a light head. Taste is thick, yet smooth. A yeasty flavor lingers after a mellow, easy initical hit of poppy seed flavor. Smells slightly citrusy with faint aroma of poppies. A very drinkable beer, but a bit too heavy after a while.

Iron in the nose that develops to a chardoney charactor as the beer warms and a thick lush head that turned to nothing quickly. Fair amount of malt but lacking the citrus I would expect in an american pale. Odd bitterness comes and goes on the side of the tounge. Alcohol becomes very present for ony 5.25 abv. Slight dryness in the finish and a bitterness that is somewhere between hops and chemicals. Not sure whats going on in this beer, it was almost like drinking 3 diferent ones.

Looks like it wants to be crystal clear but hasnt quite made it there yet. very deep orange color with a very rocky white head. fruit and bread aroma. the taste starts out caramel malty and then develops into a breeady taste followed by a sour bitterness. the body is medium to heavy. this beer sticks around in my mouth when i am done drinking it. in order to get a better rating either need to lighten it up so that i dont have to taste it for so long or get rid of that weird sourness in the finish.

Average deep golden in appearance, mostly but not crystal clear. Slightly bready but not doughy. I think I can smell the sweet alkaloid poppy aroma. The beer is slightly sweet and creamy with a bit of stickiness to it. There is a good tasting breadyness to this. There’s a bit of heat in the soft finish.

This is better than the pilsner, yet not that great of a pale ale. This almost tastes like a pale lager, if their is such a thing. I just took another sip, and realized that I still rated it a little high.
