Nice head, smooth taste, with a touch of fruity flavor. This is one of my favorite common/easy-to-get ales.

ehh its ok. Clear bright amber with a small white head. Weak spicy aroma with some toffee notes. Light, almost water body and flavour, toffee and more spicy hops. Little carbonation and a reasonably long sweet finish.

Pale amber-copper colored bubbly body with a healthy white head. Nutty caramel spicy nose with crisp malt notes. Sharp biting carbonated mouth feel with a sweet and bitter balance that is quite welcomed. Finished smooth. I imagine this is what the original pale ales were like in England.

Not too bad. Taste better when its really cold. Has a good malty taste to it. Kind of flattens out quickly. First sip is better then the last. More or less an average pale ale.

8/22/07 From the bpttle. Aroma is lightly roasted, caramel malt forward with a low earthy hop character. Appearance is medium copper with a medium off-white head. Flavor is sweet malt forward with a balance of earthy, slightly resiny citrus hops. Some fruity esters are evident. Mouthfeel is medium/low bodied with medium carb feel. Overall, very refreshing and easy drinking for a full-flavored beer, always good.
