From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Mild fruity and caramelish aroma. Flavour is sweet fruity at first before a more proounced dry bitterness takes over.

UPDATED: AUG 7, 2006 Draft... Hazy, amber ale with orange highlights and a fizzy, off-white head. Grapefruit and freshly cut flowers in the nose. The flavor is decently balanced, but a touch on the bitter side. No real malt character, just some citrusy/grapefruit notes. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Lengthy, bitter finish.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A Sim rate (on tap at the brewpub, LA): Aroma is fresh and slightly hoppy. Flavour has a subtle but quite nice bitter hop. Not great, but drinkable and does the trick.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Nice light hop aroma. Pretty balanced pale ale. Hops first, thane a malt middle; kinda English style. Very cloudy color. Drinkable.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20
My favourite from the 5 beer sampler I tried. Its hoppy and sweet, also well balanced. I guess I’m a sucker for bold pale ales, I could drink a lot of this. Nice orange colour and a frothy head.

Pallid but hoppy...mild but bitter. Poured minimal head into a 23 oz (this is one thing nice about Bonaventure) stein.
