Sep 16, 2008 Orange to amber in color with a light white head. Malt hop balance in the araoma with some piney notes but not much else. Taste is low bitterness with a light malt background. Decent.

Sep 13, 2008 Luxuriant copper orange to amber color with a solid, medium white head. This is a very well crafted American Pale Ale, with pleasantly intense citrus and floral hop aromas and a toasty, solid malt backbone. The taste is very straightforward, with big, bright, juicy, fresh hops bringing orange peel and grapefruit bitterness to a smooth, lively, medium bodied palate. This is a very appetizing libation, perfect before, during, or even after a meal (though I prefer before.) Awesome drinkability.

Sep 6, 2008 Scent is toasty and wheaty, like running through fields of Cheerios as a youngster, with a hint of celery salt. The flavour is mealy with musty, earthy flavours (fallen leaves), honey and good bitterness. Immensely drinkable and the lingering aftertaste keeps it at the back of the mind and throat. Somewhat soft and frothy carbonation. Great Lakes doesn’t tend to disappoint.

Sep 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours golden with a small light cream head. On the nose, toasty, biscuit, citrus hops. In flavor the toast and biscuit produce a distinct graham cracker flavor. More citrus hop flavor and a nice bitter end. A touch of spice. Crisp finish, medium carb. Very good.

Sep 5, 2008 Good beer. I prefer a bit more hops but this beer can hold its own for a pale ale. Worth a try... or two.

Aug 31, 2008 Bottle. Pours a coppper amber with a thin off-white head, some lacing. Aroma is very sweet malt and floral hops. I’d say this one had a little age on it as the malt is very forward and sweet while the hops are very subdued leaving a quite toasty malt body with some grassy lingering hop notes. Medium bodied with a fizzy feel. Still good, will have to get a fresher sample to see how the hops shine.

Aug 23, 2008 Sampled on tap at Dilly Deli in Mariemont, OH. Clear, golden amber in color. Mild hoppy flavor with a complex dry finish. All around an excellent pale ale!
