Jan 29, 2004 Paid $6.99 for a 6-pack.
Amber in color- kinda cloudy, small, frothy head.
Nice smell: slightly bitter grapefruit- pretty hoppy.
As my tastebuds continue to evolve, and my liking of hoppy beers grows, I must say I enjoy this beer much more. Very hoppy, lots of hops all over- in the taste, in the aftertaste... everywhere. Reminds me a bit of some of the ESBs I've had.
Not the greatest beer from Great Lakes, but definitely a good one. Much better this time around than last.

Sep 17, 2006 Amazing malt mixture with a nice full bodied hoppiness. It says subtle in the description but there’s really nothing subtle about the full bodied pine taste. A superb example of the style. Sweet Amber colouring with a lacey head.

Nov 13, 2007 Updated: Nov 14, 2007The aroma wa s citrus coupled with caramel malt an estery presence of grapefruit and a grassy lightly resinous hops presence. The aroma was bready and nicely malty. The beer arrived clear golden amber with a white well lasting head which laced the glass. The flavor was nicely bittered wth grapefruit and citrus and a caramel malt presence which had a grassy hop flavor. The finish was dry with lasting grassy and citrusy bittering and flavor into the afteraste. The body was medium with a nice level of cabonation and a creamy mouthfeel. A really great APA. Deeply malty and assertively hopped. Pint at Great Lakes.

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!

Jan 17, 2008 A very good Pale Ale. Clear, crisp orange/amber color, thinnish head which is not-quite-white. The aroma is that of sweet citrus (orange/grapefruit, maybe) and a hint of malt. Finishes with the right sweet/bitter balance (the bitter lingers a bit longer).
All in all, a good go-to IPA if its readily available in your area.

Jan 26, 2009 This beer reminds me a lot of Fat Tire. It has the same fresh flavor that comes in a good ale but I don’t think it tastes like a typical IPA. Not quite as much hoppy flavor as some IPA’s, instead more of a balance between the malt and hops. Overall very good beer.

Dec 6, 2004 Updated: Jan 17, 2005Pours a nice cloudy copper color with a tall off-white head. Very nice sweet hop aroma, citrusy, but with a good dose of malt. Taste starts with a nice malt character, slightly sweet with a quick toffee hint, then this finishes off with a great hop balanced finish. Nice citrus flavors in the finish. This is a really nice brew, well suited for any occasion.
