Bottle courtesy of Dansting. Pours a clear copper with a couple fingers of rocky beige head. On the nose is sweet, fruity toasted malt with earthy hops in the background; nicely balanced. Light to medium-bodied with a moderately dry and bitter-hopped finish. The flavor drops off a notch from the nose: caramel malt with solid, earthy hops in support. I’m a bit surprised this boasts only 33 IBUs. While the aroma is nicely balanced, the flavor swings towards the hop side of the flavor profile. This is a pretty solid EPA that packs an IPA-like 6.2% ABV. If I’m in the mood for this style, I’d probably prefer GI Honkers Ale or Odell 5 Barrel, but if I’m ever in AR and see this on tap, I’d order it. Thanks for the bottle, Dan.

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.

May 14, 2008 Arthur’s wine cellar with Sandy, Mike and Jessy Baracat. It is an excellent place for rib-eye with a great atmosphere. Then Cyrus Meritage and Grgich Hills Cabernet to top the night. Not bad for Arkansas.
