Golden color, white head. Faint hoppy aroma, some hay-like notes. Quite bitter, burnt hoppy finish. Not my cup of beer.

Good looking beer, deep golden body with nice head. Minimal cascade aroma, OK taste, nice bitter swallow. Not a stand out beer.

I wanted to like it, I really did...but there was not much going on in my sample. And I love APAs. Aroma almost non-existent. Wonderful guys at the brewery gave us te run of the place...sorry we were 2 hrs late!

Smells hoppy, amber colour. Great hops bitterness, a very good draught!

Super clear light gold with suspended flecks (actually looks like fish food). Thin white head. Pale malt aroma, some citric hops and Fuggles as well. Interesting initial flavor, dominated by Fuggles. Medium bodied. Light but tasty malt balance, very light actually. Some citric rind bitterness as well. This may be one dimensional for a pale ale, but it’s good.

The brewery says it shipped its first kegs in January, 2000. That’s why I was drinking this in November 1999, right? Say what you want about the Winking Judge, but they get the new beers first. Anyway, this is quite hoppy, but quite lacking in malt balance. They should put it on cask, too.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Deep golden coloured. Sweetish, medium bodied, bitter. Good beer, but perhaps unexciting.
