2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
UPDATED: NOV 30, 2010 Served on draft at the Flying Saucer in Raleigh. Pours a brown color. Faint aroma with some mild malty notes. .The taste has a nice citrus hop profile, but sadly also is off-balanced and has some off-flavors. Medium bodied. Disappointing beer.

Bottle courtesy of durhambeer. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of earth, tea, some hints of pepper. Tastes spciy with sime bitter touches, dry malt, earthy malt, pepper, some resiny hints. Mouthfeel is full bodied with a finish that is dry and peppery with a spicy bite.

Draft pint. Hazy golden slightly amber with small white lacy head. Slight malt aroma with very little hop aroma. Light mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Flavor of pale malt sweetness, with a bit of hop flovor, and some lingering hop bitterness in the finish. Overall a nice clean lightly hoped english style pale ale.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Who knows how many pints of this stuff I’ve consumed over the years. An unspectacular but well done brew, with a heavier, more bready body than the brewers seem to acknowledge and a slightly indistinct hop profile. In general, though, it’s good and clean, with a nice balance between flavorful English style and aggressive American style.

12oz bottle. Orange color. Slight aroma of toffee. Flavor lacks. Not much to say. Tastes like a lager. Good hop finish, just not malt character.
