amber, whispy head, strong sweet malt aroma, mild malt flavor with a touch of carmel sweetness, nice lingering bitter finish, overall would make a nice english bitter

Golden-amber colour. Earthy, minerally nose with hints of diacetyl. Rather light body. More diacetyl than I’d like and not enough body. Some minerals but this is kind of lousy.

UPDATED: FEB 22, 2004 Quickly dissipating small beige head atop a clear amber body. Aroma is sweet, caramel, butterscotch, some peach and faint earthy/floral. Taste is light sweet, pretty strong earthy, some caramel, light toffee. Medium body with moderate acidity.

Very pretty, sparkling clear amber ale. Starts off with a really big, fizzy, off-white head. Ends up as a lasting, small, creamy head.
The nose is malty with some very light chocolate and fruitcake notes.
The flavor is well-balanced, but a touch odd. Not unpleasant, just odd... almost like formaldehyde. Well-bittered. Astringent.
Light-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish. Decent ale. Definitely doubles as a preservative. Keep a bottle handy to pump into the veins of a deceased loved one.

Bottle from BevMo (Sac-Natomas). Light amber peach color with a decent off-white head. Aromas of caramel malt and grassy/earthy hop. Medum body with mild carbonation. Flavor is caramel with rather fruity hop. Also grassy. Finish is a bit astringent. Decent ale.

Poured a medium, clear golden color with an averaged sized off white head. Lightly fruity and bready. Dry finish. Nothing really stood out and struck me as anything special. It’s not a bad beer but not one that I would actively seek out. Maybe a good session beer...

Lightly hazy golden ale with a nice creamy off-white head. Nice sweet malts with light hops. Dry scotch malt with light nutty notes, medium bodied. On tap at Blue Tusk, Summer 2005.

What makes an English Pale Ale, APA, Pale Ale et. al. different anyway? That’s the question I asked myself when I tried this watery non-descript ale with not a strong hop note to be found.
