Draft pint at the brewpub 5/14/06: Orange beer. Slippery mouthfeel. Resin is part of the hoppy essence. Hint of grapefruit bite but a very subtle well refined beer.

Got to talking, and this rating isn’t going to be my most professional. Floral, slightly uric aroma. Bright orang. Dry caramel, medium fizzy. Pretty good.

Pale orange, with a smallish white head. smoky, malty, hoppy aroma. Zesty, citrusy hop flavor, with elements of lemon, smoke and pine resin. clean and earthy finish (if thiat isn’t too contradictory). Fairly sticky aftertaste. Tasted at the Brewpub.

Highly active carbonated gold body that has a continuous stream of bubbles dancing. Hopped up aroma of lemons, lime, and grapefruit with some toffee. Flavor is more of the above mentioned with sweet carame4l and still more hop presence. A nice pale ale Ap-3 ar-6 tas-7 pal-4 ov-15

Draft. Pours light orange brown. Fruity hop aroma with a backdrop of caramel malt. Like the Maris Otter, this has an earthiness to the malt profile, but the citrusy hop flavors give this one the pronounced american pale flavor. Finish is crisp, bitter, with some faint dryness. Very solid and clean. Another good one from Blackstone. The cask version has a nice creamy head that laces nicely, and the cellar temp brings out more of the earthy and british characteristics
