3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20 ravidesai (916) - Bombay, INDIA - APR 16, 2002
would be a great session beer.
hazy amber, aroma of baked bread.
hasa nice sweet malt taste with a bitter hop finish.
smooth soft palate carbonation is perfect, bubbly enough to be refreshing but not fizzy.

this is good. you can almost taste the alcohol cause it is very high. not as good as Coopers Pale Ale.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 leaparsons (6323) - Leicester, Leicestershire, ENGLAND - APR 14, 2002
Sediment gives a cloudy appearance to this unique ale. I can’t think of another ale like this one. Recommended and better than, erm, Fosters!
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Gusler (2654) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - APR 10, 2002
A tad bit cloudy golden amber color, frothy white head and decent lace. Nose is malt and a bit citrus, clean and fresh. Front is malt sweet, the top is light, the finish is acidic, dry, nicely hopped and has moderate carbonation, a decent beer.

Straw color with slight chill/protein haze. Minimal head. Spritzy feel, with fruity, oaky flavors. A good light pale.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20 eczematic (1297) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - MAR 22, 2002
UPDATED: JAN 22, 2004 getting much worse lately, POR, alcohol, acid yeastiness, thin fruit, fizzy with no head, even paler than it used to be, although every now and again a bottle surprises me by being fruity and mellow and belgian. i do not understand why this is
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20 IslandHaole (1060) - Yokosuka-Shi, Kanagawa-Ken, JAPAN - MAR 22, 2002
Don’t blink or you will miss the head. Heavy sediment. Some what a bland aroma. Nice flavor but I didn’t get the fruity flavors that others report. A nice crisp feel with a pleasing aftertaste. A bit light for an ale. Started ice cold in a frosty mug, seemed to mask the flavors, became tastier as it warmed. Much better than the Hahn’s I had earlier today.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 Octopussy (50) - Adelaide, AUSTRALIA - MAR 18, 2002
Probably my favourite beer now, with the inconsistancy in the quality of pale ale of late. Maybe not quite as smooth as pale but a little more fruitier and more consistant in quality.

oaky/woody charactersitics, nice subtle fruit flavours (pears), with a smooth slightly hoppy finish, yummy.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Caton (160) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - MAR 14, 2002
This is a great Aussie beer, with a fruity palate and smooth bitterness on the finish.
