2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
[Tap @ Brewery] Clear light amber appearance, lightly malty aroma. Some biscuity malty, hinting at English pale, bubblegum sweetness, very lightly hopped in the finish. This is a big alcohol beer but you’d never know from the malt flavor or the body. You’d think they would have held back the ABV rather than elevating it making it more malt liquor than english pale or ESB.

2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Served on tap at Big Bear Mountain Brewery. The appearance is a slightly hazy medium gold hue with a micro white head. The aromas are a bit stale with a light hop dose. The flavors are the same. Pale malts, light hops. The mouth is fairly still. This beer has seen it’s better days (at least I hope). I get that a bar would serve a poorly handled beer but your own brewery?
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
A: The pour is a clear golden color with pretty much no head at all.
S: The nose is sweet malts with some light caramel and honey, and (again with these guys) oranges. Some hints of butter at moments, too.
T: This is pretty malt forward with some light toast and bread. There is a slight citrus flavor of sweet oranges and a definite taste of butter. The bitterness is minimal.
M: The body is light with a pretty low level of carbonation.
D: This one is alright if you like buttered toast with orange marmalade. Not really for me.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft. Notes have it as an ESB. Amber beer with an off-white head. Light malt and light caramel aroma. Toasty malt and light orange/citrus flavor. Lighter bodied. Biscuity malt lingers with light citrus.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a hazy, maybe it was the glass, yellowish orange color. Aroma is bready malt with a little bit of sour lemon hops. Flavor is more of the same. Bready, a little yeasty, with a sour finish. Drinkable. A pretty middle of the road kind of beer. Not bad, but not really that good.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Clear honey amber with no head. Malty bready aroma. Bready bitter taste with a metallic finish.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Not much to say about this typical APA. Gold, clear and a medium head. Nice hop aroma. Nice balanced flavor. A decent pale.
