3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. More of a British pale ale to me. light Caramel colored. Medium hop aroma with malty presence. Taste is more malt driven with medium hop flavor. Nothing real special but drinkable
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
lost this one in the cellar, so at the risk of damaging it’s rating, I’m gonna give it a whirl! absolute gusher saves me the fear of being flat, but still concerned. robust whitish head with deep orange/copper body...lots of particulates as well. aroma is odd, and that may well be my fault, but picking up some fruit notes as well as some malty breads. flavor isn’t particularly strong...hops have faded significantly, but some sweet fruit and malt notes are evident. definite flavor of butterscotch in here as well...definitely drinking this one well past it’s prime. palate is average with a short finish.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours hazy blonde with a small head and prodigeous lacing. Aroma is hoppy but balanced by melon. Served warm with low carbonation. Mild hop flavor balanced against what I can only describe as a real ale taste. Finish is very dry.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draft sample at Genesee Valley Beer Festival. Gold with a white head. Sweet malt aroma. Butterscotch and caramel, not much hops. Similar flavor. A bit too much butterscotch for me.

On tap at the Empire Brewfest in Syracuse.
I liked this one quite a bit. Solid tasty pale ale. Not a whole lot happening but it was easy to drink. I would buy again

A decent pale all, best in draft. Enjoyable during the late summer and early fall

Bottle. I have no idea what happened, but as I poured the hazy, gold liquid into my glass, a HUGE white head rocketed up, threatening to spill all over the room. Thinking quickly, I stopped pouring. One inch of beer, five of white foam. "Huh..." I think, "I thought this was an American Pale Ale." Anyhow, after things calm down, I check out the aroma and it is fairly grassy with a little bit of a soap tone. Flavor is like that, but thin and sharp. Almost a rubbing alcohol air to it. Not good.
