UPDATED: NOV 29, 2004 This is a decent pale ale, honey like malt and tangy hoppy finish. It’s a little light bodied but easy drinking. Impressive appearance with cascading bubbles and firm foam. Nose is caramelly definite hops.

Aroma of weak citrus and pines. Appearance is a very light gold with a huge foamy top. Taste is of very bland, watery citrus hop and nothing much else. Not very much to say about this besides the fact that its awful. I’d give it an F- rating.

bottle at the Tally tasting, pours light gold with medium white head. Aroma is citrus hops. Flavor is sour pale malts, metallic, infected and not good.

Bottle… Tally Tasting ‘10… Cloudy orange ale with a small, fizzy, white head. The bouquet is floral, citrusy and lactic – more lactic than hoppy. Medium-bodied with stinging carbonation. Tangy and a bit sour. Undoubtedly infected; however, the flavor still yields some nice grapefruit pith and tangerine rind bitterness. Tangy, grassy, dry finish. I wonder how this one would have fared sans the infection.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The look is clear, yellow, and no head. The smell is grains, malts, sweet, and eh. The taste is grains, infected, malts, corn, and off.

(22oz bottle, courtesy of thirdeye11) Pours a clear yellow body with a small white head. Aroma is dominated by acidic citrus with some caramel. Flavor of tart lemon, earth, and caramel with a bitter finish.

Picked this up at the Whole Foods/ Tustin, awesome selection of beers. I liked the cloudy pour, chunky bit’s at the bottom, smell was average, taste and drinkability was great, just a smooth, lightly malted pale ale, I would more than likeley buy this again and be happy, keep it up.

A nice hop aroma. The flavor is hoppy and tasty . Certainly a good pale ale. My opinion of Bayhawk is changing. (But I think they do need to take better care.)

bottle thanks to thirdeye11. amber with a white head. light hops, fruits and not much else on the nose. light on the palate, fruits, malts and a lightly tart finish.

(22oz bomber) Pours clear yellow with nice bubbles. Nose of honey, light faded hops. Taste of faded hops, honey, hairspray, apricot and bread.

Bottle from thirdeye11. Pours with a clear golden body and a white head. Aroma of hops, honey and a bit of sourness. Taste is tea, sour and not a pale ale. Another bad beer from Bayhawk. Fizzy and dry.
