Feb 19, 2005 Yay, another black oak beer!
They always make me happy!
GOld body, medium sized white head.
Moderately hoppy and maltyaromas . Bitter sweet, and very distinct. Citrus and grass also in the taste. Crisp finish. Nice beer to drink a lot of!

Feb 7, 2005 This rating is based upon cask draft, which is quite good. Bottled, less so. Very much less so. On cask draft, it’s got a good clean flavour, backed up with gentle hops and a bit of crispness. Quite good, whereas the bottle just tastes like generic crappy beer.

Jan 1, 2005 Bottle from DougShoemaker. Nice pale ale. Lacking somewhat in aroma. A little dry hopping would be nice. Very light amber colored. Decent flavor. Light malts and hop. Initially sweet and then a very satisfying hop bitterness.

Dec 20, 2004 Bottle: Very light aroma. Hops are somewhat detectable but that’s about it. Pours a transparent gold with a small white ehad. Lightly sweet up front with an okay hop aftertaste. A little light but decently balanced although maybe a little more is needed in the malt. Slightly thin.

Nov 4, 2004 Bottle: poured a deep gold with amber tones...1 finger white cap that laces well on the glass. Nose is subtle but dominated by fruity smells over floral hops...malt gives a restrained musty-sweet inflection. Good smooth mouthfeel is smooth punctuated by doughy malts. Piney hops mingle with solid bready malts to produce a very drinklable pale ale with some IPA character...has substantial taste but is smooth like a mild pale. Finish is nice almost cider-like with the hop and malt balance so close i t produces a fruity dry departure.
A very good session ale.

Oct 12, 2004 Rich golden colour with a thick white head that fades to fluffy lace. Pale malt aroma, with a hint of fruit. Some orange and a touch of caramel as well. Light lemony citrus. Flavour is well-balanced, light sweetness on the front with a tingly bitter finish.

Oct 7, 2004 Sweet with a bready bakers yest aroma to it, golden with a medium sized head. Some hop taste to the smooth finish, floral accents a tad bitter. Not bad at all! Another good product from black oak.
