May 19, 2008 Bottle, mixed case. Pours a clear amber orange, white simmering head that was gone pretty quickly. Some hops and caramel in the pallet. A hop tang with some malts and a bit of a dry finish. Had this not very cold will try it again with cooler temp.
Ok, average and drinkable.

May 14, 2008 Poured a deep, rich amber with a minimal and shorly-lived white head.
The scent was incredibly faint, I picked up hints of caramel and malt and little else.
The taste was similar to the scent, but a little more pronounced. A lot of caramel and malt and alcohol with a nice hoppy finish.
decent mouth-feel, nothing to write home about; a little dry towards the end but nice up front.
Certainly a drinkable ale.

May 1, 2008 Pours copper and clear. Smell is malty and toasty with light grassy balancing hops and a dash of sour milk, somehow... Taste is mildly malty and dryish toasty tartness. Fairly hopped for bitterness without much hop flavor, though. Medium to light bodied with a high amount of carbonation. Crisp. Average.

Apr 21, 2008 Bottle from Belo Vino. Poured a clear deep amber with an average rocky off-white head that diminished very slowly with fair lacing. Medium sweet malty and hoppy aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Moderate sweet flavor with an average bittersweet finish of medium duration.

Apr 13, 2008 Amber in color, slightly cloudy with an off white head, decent lacing. Aromas of floral and light hops over sweet malts. Flavor is caramel and light toffee with big floral and citrus hops. Clean and somewhat bitter on the finish. A decent brew.

Apr 12, 2008 12oz Bottle - at the High Street Pub - Bellefonte, PA. Aroma is a light wash of DMS and earth. Dull. Pours a brilliant, shiny rubied copper, with a rim of off-white. Flavor is really affronting right off the bat. There’s a biting, acerbic chemical yeast profile. It comes right out of the malt in pure bubblegum. Gross. This ruins the malt profile for me. It slides into a gently sweet, lightly old mush. Sugary. Alcohol is a little forward. No hop finish. Disappointing. I cannot believe this is an Old Ale. So far off on the style. Not enough body, flavor, or anything.

Apr 9, 2008 Somewhere in between an English pale and American Strong ale. Not super flavorful, but it’s fairly balanced. A bit of alcohol on the way down making the palate a bit harsh. Not great, but not too bad
