4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20 oNEMOg (1) - California, USA - OCT 23, 2010 does not count
This is one of my all-time favorite beers. Delicious, easy to drink, but not at all bland. This also has one of the best designed labels on the shelf.

Light gold color. Medium to large head. Aroma is fruity and sweet. A medium to light bodied pale ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are slightly spicy. A light refreshing, fruity and sweet pale ale. Kind of a mild lightweight pale ale. Smooth and light, it would make a good lawnmower beer. It’s a little too sweet. Nice fruity esters. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

No aroma. This is a pretty simple session-style beer. Light, but a good fruit to it. Nothing extraordinary, but good.

Bottle curtesy of KrausenJockey, pours decent copper color with thin off white head. The nose is bready malt and a touch of hop. The flavor is the same, with more malt than hop. Noce on a 95 degree late Summer day. I didn’t think I’d like it, but was pleasantly surprised.

Thanks AgentSteve. Golden amber, malty, bready, light hop, nice crisp refreshing beer.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 HighWine (397) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - OCT 5, 2010
Bottle. Golden amber color, nose of malt and faint hops. Taste is very malty for the style. Brown butter, toasted bread, and caramel flavors are present. The taste is good but it’s out of balance. Needs some more aromatic and bittering hops to tie everything together. Medium palate. Good but not a good representation of an American Pale Ale.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 5000 (3998) - Hardened Liver, Washington, USA - JUL 5, 2004
Bottle pours translucent golden, large pancake batter like head, fairly sticky lacing, with plenty o’ carbonation. Light hops and malt on the nose, very subtle it is.   Maybe a little bit of butter too.   Forwardly sweet, honey, like Alabastor mentioned. No real hop bite, but minor malts. Finishes somewhat quickly, with a slightly sweet aftertaste. This seems like a pale ale bordering on a cross between a lager and a mild. Not bad, but it doesn’t seem true to the style. Definitely easy to put back on a hot evening. Thanks goes out to batkins for the trade!
