Golden hazy color, nice thick white head. Lots of lace. Heavy smell of cascade hops. Lively mouth feel, dry hoppy finish on the palate. Good pale ale, awesome for Disney. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Golden in color, clear with a thin head. Thin flavor mostly malt with very little hops flavor. Average to lifeless brew.

Draft sample. Poured clear light copper color with an average fizzy white head that was was lasting with excellent lacing. Moderate earthy hop and small malt aroma. Medium body with a dry slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where exceeded.

Kind of a hazy orange-copper color with a small off-white head. Aroma of pale malt, caramel, and light fruit notes; on the mild side. Taste is about the same, but comes through a little bolder. Medium body. Decent, just a little boring.

Golden-copper body with a white head that leaves thick lacing. Leafy, citrus aroma and grains in the aroma. Clean start with a fruity finish.

Review from notes from my trip to Florida. #3 of the night. Poured into a pint glass. 3.5 A: Lightly hazed orange. Came with no head, but a decent amount of lacing. 3.0 S: Pretty boring. A light yeastiness. Light floral hoppiness and a touch of crystal. Not much going on. 3.5 T: Taste is much better. Solid neutral maltiness with a touch of crystal. Moderate bitterness with grassy and earthy hop flavor. Not bad here. 3.5 M: Lighter medium body. Good moderate carbonation. Smooth, but could be creamier. 3.5 D: Decent beer. Not worth seeking out, but I’m glad it’s here. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 06-01-2011 18:05:51

Prety simple pale ale here. Not that that is a bad thing, mind you, there just so many ways you can describe a tasty but unremarkable pale.... Y’know, looking back, I see that the "unremarkable" seems a little bit dismissive. I didn’t mean that - in fact, I had a couple of pints and enjoyed them - I just mean that it’s like a lot of other pales.

Draft at LBV Big River, Oct 2010. Pours chill hazy amber resin colored with nose of pale malt, some hops and spicy notes. Tastes of hops, spicy black pepper, mild fruit. Not bad, but I liked the Gadzooks pils a bit better.
