Bottle. This beer pours like beer should pour ... bubbly, colorful, and amply headed. The aroma is chained up a bit, but hints at a nice hoppiness. The beer drinks with a distinct British-like full maltiness, but the bitter citrus on top is all-the-way American. Excellent. (#3976, 9/2/2010)

This is one of my favorite beers. The hop load is almost perfect for a Pale Ale, IMHO.

12oz bottle courtesy of ericandersnavy. First beer from Arkansas. Good caramel malt and a whif of the hops. Deep amber body with foamy head that stayed thought beer. Left some cloudy lacing on glass. Flavor had the caramel malt but a decent citrus in the mix. Refreshing on the palate, good pale ale. Thanks Eric.

This is a very nice Pale Ale, both on tap and from the bottle. Nice head, good hopsy aroma, excellent palate and flavor. This is a nicely balanced pale.

Nowhere near as bad as I had expected, in fact it’s pretty good. Nice amber color and foamy, white head. Definite hop presence both in aroma and taste (but not overpowering like many hoppy pale ales of today). There is also some malt sweetness to it, but again not in an overpowering way.

12 oz bottle Clear Copper off white head, Cascade type hoppy aroma with some juicy fruit gum and bit-o-honey candy mixed in.Taste is sweet slightly roasted malt with balanced hop bitterness.Its a delicate pale ale and doesnt travel well. The best advice is go to the source and try it on draught you will be amazed what a drinkable ale this really is.

UPDATED: MAR 7, 2003 From the bottle. Nice tan head. Rich copper color. Aroma and flavor both balance hops and malt. Mild hops aftertaste.
