Tasted side by side with several other ales and it was especially weak in comparison. Good pouring beer with decent head, just lacking in the flavor department.

Crisp, dry, boring. I am cancelling my Beer of the Month club if they don’t stop sending out this swill.

Has a distinct citrus taste. A great outside summer beer. I’d drink it again in a heartbeat.

My grandma’s tea, but that would say much to you so I shall say light brownish amber. Decent bitterness, rich, some orange. I like it.

Orangey-amber; earthy, woody, vienna malt notes - end of day this is a standard amber.

First Rating 10/06/02: Clear deep amber to copper color, the head is frothy, beige, the lace in sheets. Nose is malt, sweet, fruity, maybe even a hint of caramel. Front is malt sweet, the top light, the finish is dry, acidic, mildly hopped and a drinkable but not a good beer. Does not rank in my current 1000 beer master list.

Pale Brown color, small head. Mild malty aroma. Medium bodied pale ale. Mild malts and fairly hoppy. Good mild flavor. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. Very drinkble milder Pale Ale. Nothing outstanding.

joet (1875) - Fulton, California, USA - AUG 26, 2002
Interesting... dull but not quite pan flavors to the malt. Spicy hops. A bit of smokiness, not very sweet. Appropriate low-medium effervescence. No surprises and nothing difficult.

Good pale ale a good beer if you are a fan of IPA’s and you want it a little lighter

A decent beer, but definately not special.
