Thanks to Dansting for this 12oz bottle. Aroma is piney and spicy hops and caramel sweetness. Copper colored with a smallish head but brisk carbonation. Initial taste is caramel maltiness and earthy hops followed by a clean bitterness that seems about right for an English Pale Ale. The finish seems nicely balanced. Not a bad drinker, but I would like more malt complexity if this is to pass as an (good) English Pale Ale. Without a doubt, the best (and only) beer I have had from Arkansas.

Jul 22, 2008 Kinda funny pale ale. Initial flavor was nice but then it dissipates to nothing. A bit watery. Start out strong but finished weak. Not much head. Pretty average but not terrible.

Jun 21, 2008 This one poured a copper color with a moderate head. The aroma contains some citrus as well as caramel. The flavor is rather malty with some grapefruit showing through. Overall a simple but nice pale ale.

Jun 10, 2008 Bottle - AR. Poured a light brown. Aroma and flavor where much more malty than any pale I;ve had before. It may be the english style but it still caught me off guard. Hops were fighting to get through the maltiness but loosing the battle. IMO - not a balanced beer.

Jun 2, 2008 It had a wonderful aroma and a beautiful copper coloured body. The presense of citrusy hops was delightful but not too much. The bouquet was full of nuttiness. A very clean and refreshing finish.
