3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the brewpub on 4/27/06: Pours a clear bronze with a nicely lacing airy white head. Fresh citrusy hoppy aroma has a touch of sweet pale maltiness. Sweet light caramel malty body is well balanced with fresh piney and citrusy hops. A very nice APA.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft @ Bo’s: Hazy amber color with a small off-white head. Nice grapefruit aroma with caramel underneath and notes of peach. The flavor goes from a short caramel malt to a big hoppy flavor pretty much from the start. Nice bitterness at the end. Moderate length finish.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap: Light hop aroma. Transparent amber with a white head. Light malt up front in the form of caramel. Decent citrus hop finish. Relatively balanced. Seems almost likely a slghtly weak IPA.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tap. Medium amber in color. White head with good lacing. Floral hops in aroma. Watery body. Malt and hop balance seem to be in order. Body just falls out on this one.

I won’t rate too many of these pales because I just am not a fan of the bitter grassy flavor of them, but this one had enough acompanying sweetness to catch my attention.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bo’s best always avaliable brew and one fine pale. The hops are full, but not ferocious and nicely balanced with the surprising caramel malts that eventually, and rather sweetly take over.
