COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The best English pale malt and subtle contributions from five specialty grains balanced with a liberal dosage of English Fuggles and East Kent Golding hops produces this Burton-on-Trent classic style. For those that think a pale ale should be blond in color, you are mistaken. This brew is a pale copper color and has a medium body that finishes with a strong hop flavor that lingers until your next pint. Best served with all types of pub fare, especially buttery sautéed crab claws, hearty shepherd’s pie, or bangers and mash with thick onion gravy.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a dark amber orange with signs of white head. The nose is very much a citrus rind character. Flavor tastes like the rind as well, and there is a toasted malt note. Medium esy to drink body with plenty of carbonation. Not bad.

phaleslu (3544) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - SEP 21, 2009
Draft pint at the brewpub. Hazy reddish-orange pour with a small off-white head. Aroma of citrus, malt, buscuit, floral notes. Flavor follows suit, with a decent balance. Crisp and refreshing. Light body. Mildly bitter finish.

unclemattie (3354) - Georgia, USA - APR 11, 2009
Draft @ Hurricane. Very cloudy, unfiltered golden orange. White creamy head. I love an unfiltered ale. Nice citrus aroma and some pale malts. Flavor is a bready malt, fruity finish, and a citrus hop character in every sip. Smooth creamy mouth feel. Medium bodied. Very refreshing.

Draft. Poured a cloudy orange with a minimal white head. Aroma of malts and citrus. A very strong citrus flavor with a strong after taste of citrus rinds. Overall it is a decent beer that could use some more hops.

Oakes (10202) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 15, 2009
Bright amber colour. There’s a lot of soft English bitterness (good) and herbal notes (also good) but way too much diacetyl (very bad) and on the whole it ruins the beer.

Beershine (4766) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - FEB 13, 2009
Clear copper with small but tight tan head. Buttery aroma detracts. Some apple sauce in there too. There is a good beer under all the butter, I detect herbal bitterness and lots of fruit.

GAManiac (1906) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - JAN 1, 2009
On tap at the brewpub. Pours pale amber with little head and no lacing. The aroma is mild with some bready malts and a hint of earthy hops. There is some caramel sweetness, but only faintly. Slightly toasted malts and earthy hops dominate, though they’re certainly not packing a lot of punch. Hop bitterness is present but faint – pretty thin bodied overall. Not terrible, but really nothing to stand out, especially as an IPA. It’s pretty fair as a standard pale ale.

jcwattsrugger (9057) - Florida and, New Jersey, USA - DEC 1, 2008
on tap-pours a thin white head and amber color. Aroma is medium malt-non sweet caramel, yeasty/bread, earthy. Taste is medium malt-non sweet caramel, yeasty/bread, earthy hops (fuggles and EKG). Gentle/middle of style for an EPA. Nicely done.

If you don’t expect an IPA, this beer is quite nice. It’s more of an amber or standard APA. But, overall it’s a tasty and refreshing beer.

First of all, this doesn’t even taste like an IPA. It’s a good beer, but it’s not a good IPA by any means.
