2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Draft at Hilton in Raleigh, NC - Poured a pale amber in color with a small white head that quickly faded. Aroma is somewhat of malt and faint of hops... not real strong. Flavor is also quite mild and mirrors the aroma pretty closely. Has a weird aftertaste that follows a lightly bitter finish. Not real good...

The color was golden with light orange hues. The head was thin bodied, off-white, and fizzy. The aroma had some hopps. The flavor was a little bitter. The palate was thin/medium bodied. The finishw as lackng and abrupt.

Draught. Pours gold with well-lacing white head. The aroma is grapefruit and lemon and some sugary pine. The flavor is grapefruit at first, then moves toward pine. Gets bread and bark tones, too, especially toward finish. Finish has slight dryness and a brief pinecone aftertaste.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured a semi-substantial pale amber. Not exactly clear but not super viscous. The head was frothy, white, and medium. the aroma was a tad fruity, hops are evident, some sweetness, a bit lacking but solid. The flavor was semi-bitter, a tad waxy, dry, a good balance but also a bit lacking. The palate and finish were also mediocre.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
This rating from the bottle, although I had several pints of this on tap while in Raleigh, definitely the best available in the hotel bar! Right down the pipe for a pale ale, I’d put this more in the American vein than English ... light in its amber hue, limited in it’s carbonation, and little head. But it’s got a decent hoppy citursy character, definitely quaffable, and a quality session brew. (#2844, 5/6/2007)
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Crisp aroma, light citrus, with some piney hops. Pours pale with a short lasting head. Flavor is nice, sarts off malty, then has a fresh citrus midddle and a bitter finish. Somewhat thing bodied. Great beer to have with mexican food (which I’m about to eat).
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured a nice pale yellow with only a small head. Some malty flavor but not overaly complex. A nice beer with a meal.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12 oz. bottle via trade with TURDFERGUSON - Pours a clear orangish color with a 1/2 finger thick white head. Has a light grassy, herbal hop aroma. Has a sligtly sour bitterness to the flavor. Thin palate. Light to medium body. Not the best beer. Thanks Sam.
