2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
someone at work bought this as a joke. virtually no aroma. slight malt flavor with a little pepper but sweetness and hops dominate. very boring micro brew but at least the label is fun to look at.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours bright golden with a thin, partially receding off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, oxidized stale note, toffee. Taste is slightly oxidized, caramel, and lightly spicy hops. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly sticky with lush carbonation.
2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
This beer was such a dissapointment. The aroma is weak, the tase was just above average. Nothing really going for this thing. Not bad by any means, just nothing to have me buy it again.

a weak pale with a boring and sort of disgusting aftertaste. not much to set this apart from others, especially since so many brewers have the american pale down.

1 of 3 random 12 ounce beers I picked up at the Chico World Market. Turns out to be better than I was expecting having been stored under harsh lighting and with no refrigeration. I think this is a good example of a "Just above average" type beer. Nothing stands out too much, it’s got some hops, some malts a little paper and not much else. I guess what actually stands out is that it doesn’t stand out.

Thanks to KAggie97 for this one. Pours a nice amber color that reminds me more of an IPA. Head is nice and tan with decent lacing. Nose is malty with brown sugar notes. Taste is very much the same, great malt notes along with sweet brown sugar and finishes with some intersting bitter hops. Very enjoyable.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Fairly darker color for a pale ale with a mid-thick mouthfeel. Nice balanced flavor.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very hazy (cloudy even) amber, initially a fairly thick almond head that rapidly becomes scanty. More caramel malt than your typical APA, moderate hop presence gives a resinous and bitter element to the aroma and flavour. Mouthfeel is surprisingly a little on the thin side, but overall this is a very sessionable pale ale.
