petematte46 (218), Dallas, Texas, USA Nov 16, 2009 22oz. A disappointment from Deschutes. Pale gold body, thin head. Bland body with not much happening. faint malt aroma. Not too bad,but not good either. Sledutah (53), Utah, USA Nov 15, 2009 22oz bottle.
Appearance: Pours a copper/gold with a nice off white head with some lace left in the glass
Aroma: Citrus and pine hops
Taste: Caramel and citrus hops with a dry finish.
Less hoppy than I thought it would be from what the label says. But it is a good beer, wish I had another.
BlackForestCO (820), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Nov 13, 2009 Bottle. Poured a clear golden-copper color with a half-inch white head that diminished to a thin layer and left some spotty lacing. Aroma of lightly sweet caramel, some light leafy hops, and a hint of pine. Smooth, lightly sweet entry leads into a moderately dry hoppiness with some pine and light hints of citrus fruit (mainly orange) and finishes with a bit of sweet caramel maltiness offsetting the light, earthy bitterness. Low carbonation and somewhat thin mouth feel. Overall, a decent beer that seemed a bit subdued and thin. Had some promising qualities, but nothing that actually stuck out. douglas88 (1573), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Nov 12, 2009 22 ounce bottle at the Beerhive. Pour dark amber color with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet caramel, earthy hops. A smooth sweet flavor; fresh citrus hops,caramel, earthy flavors. It grows on you and is a nice Pale Ale. Easygoing. Swalden28 (1446), McKinney, Texas, USA Nov 12, 2009 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX. Pours a very nice looking amber with thick beige head. Aroma is nice, floral, hopy, light caramel. Flavor was a little weaker then expected, but it was nice, some hoppy flavor, light malt, little grassy with some dirt. Mouth feel is medium body, medium-high carbonation, kinda watery. Overall, not bad. brewolf (38), Washington, USA Nov 9, 2009 Caramel amber pour with a nice thick, white head. Aroma is not overpowering, but has ample buscuity sweetness and floral hop pungency. Not over the top, but nowhere near mundane. I guzzled this bomber with surprising speed. Super solid pale. hophead21112 (116), Louisville (LEWISville), Colorado, USA Nov 9, 2009 Slightly hazy light copper pour with a soapy white head that dissipates somewhat quickly with average lacing. Aroma is sweet grain, earthy, and citrus fruit. Flavors of light caramel and grain with a floral/grassy character from the hops. Short finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation, no alcohol warmth. Decent fresh hop beer... last year was better angrypirate06 (706), Texas, USA Nov 4, 2009 Clear copper orange pour with a fluffy white head. Aroma is fresh, grassy hops, tropical fruits.Flavor is floral, astringent, light caramel, nice bitterness, somewhat nutty.
