Bottle, Hmm retired well thats good to know, that could explain the complete lack of hops. Tasted kind of sweet, with little aroma of hops and no bitterness. Pretty watery and boring. Oh well its retired.

Well... I might have been a little more careful if I knew that this beer was retired. Additionally, I bought it from the exact same shop that Cornfield did about a year ago. Yeesh. Somebody needs to rotate their stock...<br /><br /> Anyway, this one pours a bright copper body with plenty of carbonation under a short-lived, off-white head. Caramel and biscuit aroma comes across as sweet baked goods. A bit of oxidation in the flavor (go figure) but it finds a decent balance starting with those sweet malts and finishing with a mild dose of bitterness. I’m actually not as disappointed as I thought I’d be. <br /><br /><font size=-4>Single 12 oz. bottle from <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/illinois/plainfield/t-birds/5637.htm><u>T-Birds</u></a>, Plainfield, IL 60544</font><br />

The body is a clear, bright copper color with a slender white head that quickly becomes a ring around the glass. It smells mainly of toffee and caramel with a light, indistinguishable hopping. Pretty thin. Up front this has a a sweet malty taste and finishes on a mild, earthy bitterness. No reason to seek this out.<br /><br /><font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=5637><u>T-Birds, Plainfield, IL</u></a><font size=-1><br />

Malty, faint hops, a little bit watery, but something about this beer just speaks of warm summer days, boat docks, and relaxation. I love it. Exactly what it says it is.."A refreshing pale ale."

[bottle - 12 oz] Clear orange pour. No head. Sweet aroma of malts, caramel, grain and some slight hops. Slightly spicy and hoppy taste at the front that quickly mellows into a sweet and malty taste. Very fizzy and thin. On the whole, not the best pale ale I’ve had.
