Not bad. Its an easy drinking pale ale. A little bit of hops, a little bit of fruit. The finish is short, but this is refreshing during a hot sticky July.

Sep 30, 2008 Given as a gift and I quite enjoyed it. Pours a darkish amber color with not much of a head. Almost has a hint of citrus, possible grapefruit of all things. Has a somewhat bitter taste but all in all, really a pretty good ale.

Sep 19, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, amber body with a wispy, bubbly, off-white head.
Smell: Toasty, grainy nose with some sweetish hints and a touch of citrus fruitiness.
Taste: A taste of toasted grains and English malts with a light sweetness and a faint fruitiness. Light citrus hops with a faint bitterness. Dry, somewhat watery finish.
Mouthfeel: Just barely medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A bit weak, I must admit.

Sep 6, 2008 Spot on to style. This is how to use hops when not trying to make a big beer or overpower the drinker. Decnt roasted malt notes abound. Tinny finish lowers the rating.

Aug 27, 2008 750 ml bottle - purchased at New Beer Dist. in NYC; bright orange and clear with thin, white head; fruity and malty aromas; no carbonation; sweet, almost syrupy texture; a very nice pale ale with lots of flavor and little of the over powering and often over used hops
