Pours a nice copper color with huge head and good lace. Aroma is light but features floral hops. Flavor has a nice biscut malt character and a nice fruitiness with a mild hop bitterness. Palate is sharp.

Had this one bottled at the brewery in Milford, New York. Nice dark reddish brown color, a piney, hoppy nose, well balanced with a very strong grapefruit and rose flavor, awesome.

12oz bottle. Pours clear amber, topped with a large beige head. Aroma of malt, toffee, earth and mild hops. Flavor is initially sweet, with toffee, peat, and tea. Earthy hops gradually build and provide a fairly long finish. Very drinkable.

Pours a nice coppery, amber color with little head. Aroma of earthy, roasted malt with a note of (possibly) coffee. Somewhat thin palate. Peaty, malty flavor with some hops bite lingering. A bit better than I expected it to be.

12oz - Rock solid from start to finish. Copper colored liquid under frotyhy tan head. Healthy carbonation of small bubbles. Nice bright citrus hops on nose. Palate is nice too, with malt fading to spice (nutmeg) and hops. A pleasant, well constructed, memorable New York brewed ale.

Bottle. Crystal clear copper color w/ ephemeral head. Smells slightly of butterscotch. Malty, slightly fruity (but pulls back dry) and with earthy, spicy hops. Kind of a mess, but not flavorless. Carbonation is sharp.

Bottle from joe cannals in princeton. Pours a dark copper body with an off white head. Aroma is citrus hop ans sweet malt. Flavor sweet caramel malt and some hop character. No abv to be detected.

3/11/08 notes, cup from brewery tasting. A copper-colored APA like Deschutes Pale Ale, this beer has nice complexity of malts and hops, nothing really jumps out at you. Caramel and Brown sugar form base of flavors, though hops balance out the sweetness. Wouldn’t go out of my way to try again.

I was digging the old school baseball theme going on with the labels, but my excitement faded quickly with the first sip. Just a dull thud overall with no real nose, body, or finish to speak of. I like my Pale Ales to be hearty and crisp...but this one strikes out in my book.

Pours amber with an off white head. Aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and brown sugar. Medium body. Flavor starts out with some sweet caramel, then some citrus followed by a very quick finish. Pretty average.
