(Bottle courtesy of Headbanger). Aroma is a mild hop scent with a little malt in the back. Color is a bright gold with good carbonation and a thin fizzy head. Taste is light and hoppy. Starting with a light body its goes down with a crisp feel. Finis is a very light malt flavor followed by some citrus and a faint bitterness. Hop flavor seems to stand out nice in the after taste. Its a good, mild and easy drinking Pale Ale.

Nice 1 inch head of off-white bubbles. Great carbonation. Settles slowly and reduces to a dense creamy blanket. Light hops aroma with some spices (ginger, pepper) and some light malts. Color is a medium brownish orange. Light hoppy flavor with a little orange and more spices. Light dryness and bitterness. Shortlived finish with only some light bitterness. An ok pale ale.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 nearbeer (2572) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - JUN 5, 2008
UPDATED: SEP 28, 2008 12 oz, bb 10/20/08. Clear, burnt orange with a lasting three-finger head. Orange, grain and spicy flowers in the nose. Flavor is similar, with some caramel, toast, and occasional iron. Light-medium body is a bit too frothy with bubbles at first, but becomes smoother, and is slightly dry. Somewhat tasty and pretty drinkable, if not remarkable.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 NachlamSie (2077) - Tennessee, USA - JUN 4, 2008
Bottle best before September 8, 2008. Pours a slightly cloudy bronze with no real head. I find peachy character in the nose with subtle bittering hops. Some bread and light caramel are noted. Adequate hop character is in the flavor to create a bit of a sting and an almost dry finish. A tasteful assortment of fruity hints are found and are nicely balanced by a light sweetness and something that reminds me of tea. I could drink a lot of these. I’m enjoying this as a session quite well.

This pours a true amber. The aroma is slightly like tea leaves. Not very hoppy. Definitely a more british take on the style.

UPDATED: JAN 1, 2009 12 oz. bottle, orange in appearance, big white head that dissolves quickly, easy to drink, not much on hops or malts, good beer but doesn’t stand out in the crowd
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 BrianHagmeier (282) - Coralville, Iowa, USA - JUN 1, 2008
Pours a hazy orange with a low foamy head and a citrus and hops nose. Flavor is malty, with a mild malt and hops flavor. Its okay.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Shag (2229) - Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA - MAY 31, 2008
An orange appearance with a light to moderate white head. The aroma contains some toasty notes with a orange and permue presence. The flavor is rather malty for an APA with some caramel, oats, and a hint of lemons and oranges. Overall this is a pretty good beer.
