2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Amber hue with a minimal head. Average astringent hop aroma with a fair hop presence in the flavor profile. A little lacking in malt content. Not a bad Pale Ale, but certainly not great. Summer thirst quencher?
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Clear amber with medium tan head. Aroma is grapefruit, some sweetness. Taste is pretty minimal up front, before the grapefruit shows up mid-taste. Finishes mildly bitter and leaves a mildly acidic grapefruit aftertaste. Slightly watery.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pretty average APA, not as much hop bitterness as I was expecting, good malty finish, a little bit of bitterness was in the flavors, but again but not as much as I was expecting from this brew
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
strong tasting pale ale reminiscent of sierra nevadas pale ale, not too bad but prefer the gold ale
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
A nice, full-bodied, unwimpy pale ale. My favority CC offering.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
A good example of a pale ale. Very nice balance so that the malt stands up a bit to the hops. A good beer
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: DEC 23, 2003 Update 12/23/03: This beer has gone downhill, it is now pretty darn bland. Well balanced and drinkable. Just enough body and hops. Good fruit in the finish. Solid beer.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
A pretty average APA. Hops are very floral in both the nose and flavor; taste also has some fruitiness in the backup. As hoppy as expected. Nothing unusual or bad, just kind of average.
