Nice almost tropical(mango?) citrus nose. Clear yellow/straw color. Good citrus/floral bite with a good balance of malt and a dry finish. Very nice drinkable pale.

nice clear copper color with a whispy white head, sweet grapefruit aroma, lots of good hop flavor with just enough sweetness to keep it honest, grapefruit shows up late followed by a lingering bitter finish

MMM...Beer (385) - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - FEB 24, 2003
Great consistent pale ale. A generous white head complements the copper body, just as the citrusy nose complements its fruity overtones. Good use of hops as well (not too much).

Suttree (3766) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - FEB 27, 2005
Orange, with a thin white head. Big citrus hop aroma. Nice hop flavor, too - Kind of rough, fresh resiny hops. Decent smoky malt in the background. Remains nicely hopped to the finish.

VTHopHead (1340) - Barre, Vermont, USA - DEC 24, 2005
Sampler at the Four Queens Casino Brewpub - Also called "Pale Rider" at the Brewpub. Poured a orangish-amber in color wth a whitish head. Aroma was heavy of citrus-pine hops with a hint of malty sweetness. Flavor was pretty hoppy... citrus-pine and cascade grassiness too... the way I like it. Very good.

I had this beer a while back and from what I can remember I enjoyed it. I’ve had this at the pub/brewery so it was fresh. Nothing special about it is popping into my head at the moment.

My beer was also called Pale Rider, available at the Cigar Bar in the Four Queens. West Coast style pale ale with heavy citrus flavor. Flavor has cascade hops written all over it.
