drfabulous (658), Columbia, Missouri, USA Oct 22, 2007 From my days when I could go to the brewery. Solid pale ale. Golden. I like mine hoppier, but I love Dragonmead all around. PeterLikesBeer (99), Berwyn Heights, Maryland, USA Dec 15, 2005 pours a nice amber color with a decent sice head and lots of lacing. Aroma is grassy and has lots of hops. Flavor is again very hoppy and pleasent. A very good beer from Dragonmead! weeare138 (924), Collegeville, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 2, 2005 Appears a copper color with a lush ivory head and tons of scattered, streaky lacing. Nice retention.
Smell is buttery with citrus hops and a light bleach aroma lingering.
Taste is buttery citrus hops with some butterscotch and mild malt.
Mouthfeel is crisp and hoppy but sort of weak.
IPFreely (1470), Niagara Falls, New York, USA Oct 4, 2005 On tap at the brewery, listed as 7%. Deeper amber color, off white head. Fuller hop aroma, lots of pine and citrus, decent malt backing. The flavor is pretty bitter, light fruitiness lurking in the background. Medium bodied, bitter finish, some drying out. Pretty nice. scraff (1615), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Mar 18, 2005 Sparkling orange, fluffy white head. Nose was quite piney, with hints of white grapefruit, orange zest, and light florals throughout. Taste practically matched aroma. Balance fell more to the hops side and basically was the name of the game here. Only a hint of sweet malt in the background. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry hoppy finish. A nice drinkable APA to get your hop fix on...
