bottle at a meet the brewers in state college pa. it pours a gold color witha white head. smell of flowery hops and citrus. taste is the same. The taste is a big let down after the huge aroma it gives off. It’s wasn’t my favorite out of the tasting.

Bottle. Thanks Jason. poured a nice reddish golden color with a nice fluffy off white head that stuck around awhile. Aroma is of mild hops, some citrus, alittle sweet malt. Taste.is quite dry and hoppy. beer does not taste very fresh but still is not that bad. Slight sweetness with some hops at the end. Not great but not terrible

A caramel-y sort of malt flavor, but very light. Has a spicy/floral note to it. Not sure I care for that sort of flavor in my beer. People around Ithaca seem to love it, but for me it was not one of my favorites. Then again, I am admittedly more fond of darker beers.

Golden, small white head. Decent hoppy aroma, taste is of a middle of the road pale ale.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: OCT 28, 2009 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Copper with head and lace. Spicy aromatic perfumy band-aid aroma. Spicy mild biscuit minty melony with somewhat dry finish. What a mess. Not sure if I’ll make it through this one.
re-rate: Tried to have this again last night, because I had to buy a mixed 12-pack to get the smoked porter,which also sucks. But I had to drain pour it. It was a soapy bandaidy perfumy sugary spicy mess. How do you fuck up a pale ale that bad?
Third time’s a charm? Finally finishing the pale ales from the twelve pack because I’m too broke to buy more beer right now, and, not sure what happened, but it’s not as bad as it seemed before. Just a regular mild pale ale, a little sweet lemon perfumy and slightly soapy, but not as bad as it seemed before. Can’t explain it. Apologies for the really bad first and second ratings.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle Pours a clear golden with a good white head, disapates quickly and leaves almost no lacing. Has a real good hoppy aroma. Has a good crisp mouthfeel. Good carbination. Has a lighter body than heavy. Taste is good. Lots of hops and bitterness. Has a decent finish and feel real good going down. This is a real good beer.

12 oz bottle. From the same variety pack as the Oaked Nut Brown, and as I was disappointed in that beer, I’m a bit disappointed in the Pale Ale as well. It’s got a typical look and aroma, but all I can taste are the bitters of the hops. Very little flavor other than that. Seems to me Ithaca used to be better than this.
