12oz. bottle: OK, I bought it for the good name. With a name like that,it has to be good, right? WRONG! It poured pretty much like a fizzy yellow beer. Really no aroma, and not much taste. And the little taste it had was very unappealing. No real hops at all. How can they even call this a Pale Ale? I have no clue. This is not going to be the beer equivalent of Trader Joe's 2 Buck Chuck wine.

Ale_Drinker's review pretty much sums it up. There isn't much here. This beer is more like a light beer that's drinkable. It's not a pale ale

UPDATED: JUL 25, 2004 Pathetic excuse for a pale ale. No hops, no malt, just carbonated water. Very dull.

Bottle. A light golden yellow with a foamy white head. A musty cardboard aroma with a equally off flavor. A lager disguised as an pale ale with enough malt to cause it to switch sides.

Yellow gold and clear with a small white head. I have to say, this smells and tastes more like an American Standard lager to me than an APA. Malty nose with definite citrus hops present. Flavor is unbalanced - mild unremarkable malts with overbearing hops (not in a good way like with a good IPA) and a slightly chemical finish. Light body with fizzy carbonation.

A solid golden color, kind of flat looking though with little head. Smells kinda like old people. Odd flavor of murky garbage malt remains. Why are there no hops present here.

Amazing texture and flavor, like a fine Abbey Ale. Almost Duvel-ish, that good!!! Trader Joes in San Francisco once had cases of this stuff going for a buck a bottle, THEE most amazing store "special" blowout ever encountered. I bought as much as I could carry. Never see it in LA. Scumptious!!!

An average pale ale. The hops are a bit to mild and the beer is out of balance. I also taste some citrus flavors. Middle of the road pale ale.
