Thanks to Brewbandit for this bottle. Good beer. Above average Pale ale. Had a nice bitter bite.

UPDATED: OCT 3, 2003 Bottle 2:
Light amber in colour with a thin white head. Very minimal aroma, but hops are detectable in what is noticeable. Medium-bodied; A good hoppy flavour - perfectly balanced with malt. Aftertaste bittered from the hops. Overall, pretty good from the style and better than the IPA in my eyes. I had this beer on draught at Summit's in Sandy Springs (Atlanta), Georgia on 25-September-2003. Rating for this bottle: 4,4,8,3,13.

Bottle 1:
Hazy golden colour with some dark orange highlights. A thick head filled with smaller bubbles and is off-white coloured. Not much too much in the smell, perhaps a bit of english hops, a bit of some sugar and a touch of floral and perfumey aromas. Medium-bodied; Malty flavour with a pretty strong sweetness, just in sugar form (no fruit or burnt sugars), and finally some hops (english). The aftertaste is pretty well balanced between the malt and the hops, but not much other than that is noticed. Not a bad beer at all, but it really didn't strike my fancy. Overall, worth trying if you like English Pales and live in Georgia or Florida! I got this twelve ounce bottle in a beer trade with great guy Matt A. (Mabdoney) from Florida. Thanks again Matt!

pale gold color. mild flavor. i didn't really get the hops out of this but it's a pretty decent beer.

12 oz bottle, pint glass. Great creamy head (+1") appears to have decent retention. Pale orange color, light carbonation, and dense, small particles. Cookie malts, flowery and citric hops. Apple and pear overtones. Starts off lightly sweet and finishes moderately sweet, moderately bitter. No acidity to speak of. Nice balance and fruit tones in the flavor. Medium body, creamy texture, lively carbonation. The bottom line is: this is a crisp, refreshing, good looking, and smooth pale ale. 1st place in my Atlanta pale ale taste off and my only recommended Atlanta pale ale.

This Pale Ale is copper in color and pours a nice one-finger head. Dog Wood EPA is very smooth, possibly too smooth. This beer seems to be lacking the aromatic and bitterness effects of the added hopps, it needs to be stronger and more vibrant. This is a fine beer, especially for summer, but it is a bit sweet for an EPA. I’ll also give a shout out to my mom and dad for bringing this beer back from Atlanta for me to rate, Thanks M & D.

Draught version: Somewhat copper in color, with a slight haze to it. A bit of a tan head, but it dissapates quickly. Aroma isn't too strong. Slight citrusy hops in the nose. The taste is quite good. There is a farily good balance of maltiness and hops, with a fair amout of body. Also, very smooth. A pretty decent EPA. I thank Delta for having this selection in addition to the normal Macros!!

Nice mild, bready aroma. Flavor also mild, with some toasty malt notes and a mix of citrusy and earthy hops. A decent beer, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get one.
