Charlzm (247), Los Angeles, California, USA Dec 13, 2007 Bottled, consumed on 12/13/07. Crystal clear medium golden pour with very fine off-white head that lasted quite some time. Rich citrus and pine aroma with subtle notes of sweet... peppermint?? Can’t put my finger on it, but pleasing nonetheless. Smooth mouthfeel with a touch of that Bass Ale apple flavor. Fleeting sourness gives way to lightly bitter, smooth finish with no astringency. Very drinkable. cathcacr (586), Portland, Oregon, USA Dec 8, 2007 On draft at the Corbett Fish House, 12/5. For a pale ale, it was quite good. Got me two 20 oz. pints of it. Slightly fruity aspect; I need to put this up against SNPA and see how hey compare.
drawde (115), San Francisco, California, USA Dec 7, 2007 Updated: Dec 12, 2007Dark for a pale ale, a brown shade of gold and hazy. Lots of apricot flavor, not so bitter. More like an English Pale Ale.
[Tasted next to a Anderson Valley Poleeko Gold Pale Ale]
The Poleeko is much lighter in color, and citrusy sweet in flavor. The Mirror Pond has more malt backbone and a full bodied fruity flavor. fiulijn (7150), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Dec 1, 2007 Bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007 Cloudy amber color. Nice sweet hoppy aroma, resiny and fruity. There is some sweet toffeish flavor, but a bit dry mouthfeel. At least there is a good hopping, strong and a bit resiny and fruity (apricots). Pleasant. Oscbert (531), Sacramento, California, USA Nov 20, 2007 Updated: Dec 21, 2007 Cloudy reddish amber color. medium sized white head. ~Aroma is very subtle, sweet honey aroma, bit of floral.
Taste sweet, honey flavor.~ Not a very exciting beer, but worth buying again. vadersnightcap (80), Scotland Nov 18, 2007 Very nice little ale.
Not usuallu a big cascade fan but this one does not seem to have tha hard citrus edge of other beers which promi9nanlty use cascade.
Canadianlush (169), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA Nov 11, 2007 I’ve had this one so often I can’t believe I haven’t rated it yet. Pours a cloudy copper color with a nice white head. Strong aroma of flowers and hops. Flavor is, complete, bitter and hoppy. Finish is full and hearty with a very nice hoppy aftertaste. Pound for pound one of the best IPAs out there. Deschutes has yet to let me down. CapFlu (3480), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Nov 6, 2007 (Draught) Sampled at a Sushi restaurant on Pioneer Square called Tig Asian Tapas Bar in Seattle on October 17, 2007. Pours a foamy white head with a cloudy orange body. Nose of oranged and vegetables. Flavour is mild and subdued with a lemon finish. Uneventful.
