Jun 15, 2009 Pours a golden color, with a thin white head. Mild and not too great grainy aroma. Mild taste of hops. Tastes almost like a lager if that makes any sense, because it is so grainy. Also it is kind of watery. Not that great at all. I would doubt that this is a proper APA... more like a blonde ale. BBC makes many better beers.

May 3, 2009 Tap @ The Druid... Poured a light orange with a white head. Faint aroma of tangy hops. Sweet citrus notes with mild hops. A little yeasty, estery off flavor in the finish. Other spiced notes like cinnamon.

Apr 11, 2009 Served from a 64 ounce growler:
With a strong whiff of yeast, the pale ale malt is slightly lost. The hop fares better although it is also hidden behind the citrus aromas of the yeast. Do I detect a touch of wheat?
Cloudy, and far more pale than I expected (golden color). Decent head and lace
Spicy flavor up front, clove and floral hop. A properly bitter aftertaste is also present after I swallow. Very dry with a moderate amount of carbonation. Fuller bodied than I’d expect from the color. Decent brew that is growing on me as I sip it.

Apr 5, 2009 Had a nice "faint fruit" character to it- but by no means a sweet beer. Not a lot of hops, might benefit from a few more. Would definitely drink again, especially in the summer.

Mar 28, 2009 On tap at Theodore’s, Springfield MA. A good pale ale, not too complex and not near IPA status.. strange presence of strawberry/raspberry in the mid to back palate.. Good though and would drink again.

Feb 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours a golden body with a 2 finger white head. Some mild maltiness with hints of fruit, some mild earthy bitterness. Sweet earthy apple and some more caramel malt to finish. Thin and simple.

Dec 10, 2008 Pours a hazy dark yellow with a thin white head. Slightly skunky malt aroma with hints of hops. Slightly fruity crisp malt taste and slight bittering hops. Only found this ok, no tas refreshing as I had hoped.
