I didn’t even realize I had never rated this beer. Had on draft. Poured an amber color with a caramel malt aroma. Nice malty flavor with a very mild bitter finish.

very bland and average... it was a decent pale ale but nothing fancy to remember - copper color with light head, hoppy fruity, little aftertaste

KingGambrinus (117) - Santiago, CHILE - JAN 26, 2009
(Bottle). Clear amber with a small head. Aroma of sweet malt and mildly hoppy. It reaches many notes, like caramel, apples, honey, grass and herbs. Mostly fruity and malty flavor, there is also caramel, honey, and a bit of hops. Bitterness is between light and medium. Nice medium body and dry finish. Good!

Narnad (1136) - Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA - JAN 18, 2009
A great frothy, white head forms when poured from the bottle. Color is copper/amber in color with a med to high carbonation rate. Aroma is fruity with a light apple scent to accent the pale malt sweetness. Flavor has a faint granny smith apple tartness to it, a slight bitter grassy hops middle and ends with a pale malt sweetness. Beer has a little bit of a water feel toward the end of the tasting. Overall beer is pretty good for being hugely produced product will definitely drink again sometime.
