| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 14, 2008 Cask conditioned at The York, Highland Park, CA. Solid, solid beer to cask. One of the darkest pale ales I think I’ve seen. This offers a nice bouquet and body of poppyseed, apple, and floral notes. A palatte that’s really quite simple but somehow full. Very, very nice. elihapa (1072), Honolulu, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 22, 2009 On tap, Bottle Room. Beautiful pale amber-orange, with a mild scent of herbs and fresh lemon. Flavor starts with a hit of crisp hops, then rounds with toasty malt, some soft nutty qualities, and a mildly bitter finish. A surprising amount of subtlety packed into this beer. Very sessionable.

Slightly hazy amber body below a dense, creamy, tan coloured head. Very lager like, main body tastes like a quality lager (a la Lagunitas Pils), but also has some mild german hefeweizen qualities to it. Mildly citric and quite banana-y. Subtle odd spiceness, must be the poppy seeds. Overall an above average beer. smashteroid (252), USA
