2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
(Draught) Pours a large creamy white head with a deep amber body. Fruity peach malt with a tart hoppy finish. Not terribly complex. Not terribly interesting.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Originally rated July 2006. This one has a nice mild haziness cast throughout with an amber colour and small spotty lace. The aroma is of a floral bouquet and the mouthfeel is watery and slightly grainy. Mild fruitness in the taste with a good little smoky malt finish and a beautiful bitterness in the aftertaste. A great refreshing Pale Ale that I recommended as a session brew at Draft Horse. Also, Dom gave a us a taste of this one in a cask... and it was awesome.

Golden ale with a thin white head. Honey aroma with faint hops. Crisp malts in mouth, but not enough malts to sustain the hops this offering. Overall, decent. On tap at BP on March 11, 2006.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Dark golden pour with a medium white head. First of all, I feel that the hops are pretty weak in this sorry excuse for a pale ale. The aroma and flavor are more dominated by malt, then hints of bland hops show up. After that there is some hops bitterness in the finish. The body is light to medium with a creamy textute. After drinking this I felt way more bitter than the beer.

The Lure:
Shy hops and mild fruitiness roam atop the fading lactic character. Pretty bland for a pale ale aroma, and severely lacking aromatic hops.
The Festivities:
Fluffy carbonation and a wiry grassy hop flavor don’t unite and feel dirty. Some lactic notes precede the dim hop bitterness. A quirky number this pale ale, not flavorful enough, but they say they are catering to a crowd which needs breaking into. This needs some cleaning up.
Transcendence:
Grazing in a sickly patch of lawn.
