2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 LiteWait (267) - New Hampshire, USA - OCT 19, 2011
Poured from a 12 oz bottle. Thick foamy white head. Color is clear commercial beer yellow with lots of carbonation. Aroma of sweet malt and citrus hops. Medium carbonation and thin mouthfeel. Taste is citrus hops and salt. I’m not sure if it’s because I waited too long to try it. Im not a fan. I couldn’t finish it. Sorry AirForceHops.

Bottle. Yellowish golden pour, small white head. Mild hops and moderate sweet malt. Incredibly boring but inoffensive beer.

Great beer! But I’m not so sure that it’s correctly categorized as a pale ale. It seems a tad tame on the hops and has a nice weissbier flavor. Very drinkable. A great beer for beginners.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 bsp77 (724) - Minnesota, USA - SEP 6, 2011
Serving glass: Poured from bottle into a tall glass.
Appearance: Bright yellow gold with very light head and almost no lacing.
Aroma: Very faint grainy malts, orange and spice.
Taste: Mostly grainy malts, while the hops are more herbal and spicy with a light orange flavor. Ends just slightly bitter, spicy and almost metallic.
Palate: Moderately high carbonation, light to medium body that is too watery. Slight dryness at the end.
Overall: Easy to drink, but definitely too watery with a strange hop character. Not an APA that I would seek out again.

Thanks turd for sharing. Pours clean sharp gold with one finger of offwhite head. Nose is grassy and zesty with some wet hay and sweet bready malt, a tad vegetal. Pretty balanced all the way through. Dry with a medium mouthfeel.

12 oz bottle from Table and Vine, West Springfield, MA. Used a lager glass. Nice ½ thick foamy white head sitting on light amber liquid. Light thin lace. Nice aroma of citrus hops and sweet malt. Palate is a blend of sweet malt, and has a lightly bitter, clean finish. Lots of citrus hop notes. The body is a bit thin however, if you’re looking for an easy to drink APA, this is decent.

Bottle. Nose is grainy, cereal, light grass, straw. Very bland flavor, light grassy hops, more cereal and grain. Meh-eh.

Sort of a generic APA, citrus plus malts that balance the flavor. Not enough body to make it complex but not bad really, just not very flavorful.

Bottle @ brothers house on Bainbridge. Golden orange appearance with a white head. Sweet pale malty, mild hoppy nose. A touch fruity, sweet pale malty, mild hoppy flavor with a pretty crisp finish. A little too sweet.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 SamP01 (243) - New Jersey, USA - AUG 4, 2011
A nice medium amber pour with a small white head. Aroma of earthy piney hops with some nice sweet malt and nice fruity esters. Taste is good piney earthy hops with a nice sweet caramel maltiness. Nice medium body with good carbonation and a nice crisp mouth feel. Finish is sweet maltiness followed by a nice balanced earthy piney hoppiness, ending with a nice light fruity and nutty flavor. A very good drinkable Pale Ale.
