2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
This is pretty much a middle of the road beer. Nice and drinkable and much better than swill, but not great. It had some hop flavor, but not as smooth as I would have liked to see it.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Mostly golden with a hint of amber, thin white head. Subtle aroma of dough, floral, citrus. Light sweetness and light bitter on palate. Fairly light body, average carbonation, tingly finish. Overall pretty good.

Pretty middle of the road. Nothing special so far from the Carolina Brewing Co. Strange aftertaste, though.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JUL 13, 2011 Ar: Moderate grapefruit rind, light toast, touch of butterscotch.
Ap: Deep golden, slightly hazy.
T: Grapefruit up front, transitions to slight green apple, finish is toasty.
P: Medium bodied, finishes dry, carbonation med-low.
O: Easy drinking pale ale - hopped like an APA, but long toasty finish gives more of a substantial impression than run-of-the-mill APA - easy-drinking, solid, and satisfying.

overall, i just think that people need to stop making english style beers. this was fine i guess, but american pale ales are just so much better.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Aroma of sweet corn, yeast, lightly floral hops. Wow, flavor hoppier than expected. Wheat, floral hops, yeast, hint of orange. Finishes with a crisp hop bitterness and yeast. Surprisingly grainy and bready for a pale. Body is well done; feels very clean and solid, but not too thick or thin. Like pulpless orange juice. Frankly, this more or less embodies what I look for in an IPA, but its not an IPA. Anywho, this is very refreshing and easy drinking, if not earth shattering.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Honey golden color. Nice balance between Malet and Hops. Fresh, on tap in Raliegh NC. Easy to drink.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
golden yellow color with a white head. aroma is fairly hoppy witha nice bitter taste.kinda light and watery with not much flavor.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Aroma of a bit of hops, grain, and some breadyness. Starts with the grainyness and moves onto the bitterness and hop flavor. Overall a clean ale, I’d drink it.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours light amber yellow with a thin lacing of white head. Aroma of doughy citrus with just a hint of yeasty funk. Light body and very straightforward flavor. Pale malt with some slightly minerally and citrus notes. Hop bitterness opens up in the finish and finishes dry. I would like some more bready/roasty malt flavors going on, especially for an "English" style pale. This straight forward ’merican.
