Aug 29, 2007 bottle. clear orange with thin tan head, no lace. clean malt aroma. tastes is bitter hops over solid malt backbone. unfortunately, i get a distinct acidic aftertaste. spoils an otherwise good beer.

Aug 25, 2007 Very light hop aroma, pours a dark reddish amber, with about half a finger of head. Nice lightly bitter flavor, balanced by a nice toasty/biscuity malt backbone. Nothing extraordinary, but a very drinkable beer.

Aug 25, 2007 nice brew, good varied and vibrant hop character. piney or resiny with a nice malt backing. the citrus hop infusion weaves in and out. not too intense. refreshing crisp and finishes long and slightly bitter. i consider this a classic. it is moderate in consistancy and well carbonated with small bubbles.

Aug 25, 2007 Poured from a 12oz bottle into a shaker. This beer poured a light copper color with a foamy beige head that lasted. Some light lacing was left behind. The aroma of this beer was made up of light caramel and citrus notes. The flavor was mildly bitter with a hint of roasted caramel malt. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with a good dose of carbonation. A decent session brew, but there are better pale ales out there.

Aug 21, 2007 Light brown/amber color with bubbly white head. Big malt and sweet bread dough aroma with notes of caramel and a slight piney hop essence. Bold malt flavor, a bit fruity and again some sweet caramel aspects come through in the flavor. Damn good beer.

Aug 20, 2007 On tap. Pours orange/amber with a light head. Aroma is malt, bread, light piney hops. Flavor is malt, caramel, piney hoppiness, and some biscuit. Smooth finish. Not outstanding, but enjoyable.
