Very pale, they forgot to add flavor, too low of carbonation, the bottom of the bottle was swill water, and definately dissapointing....

Sep 26, 2007 Had this beer on 1/11/1998. Color is a medium golden brown, head and carbonation are light. Aroma is is a mild malt scent with very little hop fragrance. The taste is a little to sweet and hop flavor and bitterness is not the way it should be for a Pale Ale. It starts off with a sweet malt flavor, goes down smooth and finishes with a mild hop bitterness.

Sep 20, 2007 12oz bottle-A slightly hazy amber with a nice off white head and an aroma of malt and hops. Taste of malt more than hops. Not impressed.

Jun 23, 2005 Old notes. Very clean maltiness with a touch of dark fruit in the aroma. Creamy, solid medium body with lots of malt and dark fruit. Aroma also contains a graininess from the use of German malts. A plummy earthiness and a dried biscuit flavor also prevails with an underlying caramel/toffee taste. One of their best beers. I always thought of this one as an Alt beer gone crazy than an American pale.

Oct 12, 2003 Completely not what I expected. This one pours a light brown color with a very light creamy head. The aroma is complex and does not smell like a pale and I think this should really be labeled as something else. Flavor is balanced but only slightly, there is a battle going on for flavor dominance in this ale. Creamy and full in the mouthfeel, with a taste that is slightly musty and sweaty sort of like a california common. It is well worth a try though if you can find it. I happened to find this one while driving across Wyoming of all places.
