Bottle. Nice amber pour with a smallish head. Aroma is more malty than other pale ales. Pretty dry taste with roasted malt notes. The hops comes through in the flavor. Little too much malt in the flavor but overall a decent pale ale. The finish was crisp, dry but the flavor lingered nicely.

12 oz bottle purchased at John’s Grocery in Iowa City. Poured a clear copper color. The two-finger-tall white head dissipated quickly to a thin film that hung around a while, but didn’t leave any lace. Aroma was of fresh malty cereal grain and a touch of caramel. There was also some husky steeped barley in the nose. Dry on the tongue up front with some delicate sweetness coming out in the middle and lingering. Pleasant malty caramel and toffee flavors. No assertive malt flavor, just a tease. I tried this side-by-side with Nøgne pale ale. Surprisingly, I preferred the James Page.

12 oz btl thanks to alexsdad06 in a hand off trade. A deep copper pour with a hint of an off white head. More malt on the nose than anything else. A flavor that is smooth and malty with a decent finishing bitter. The mouthfeel is not foamy or fizzy but just off. As I finished this beer I changed my flavor from a 5 to a 6 just because it began to grow on me. A decent beer that is just a step away from being damn good.

Light hoppy nose that was much better than expected. Watery light hop body.

JK (3989) - Uptown, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - AUG 11, 2007
The aroma starts with promising hops but there isn’t enough there. Flavor is similiar. The hops taste good but the flavor is far too light. Best described as a light pale ale.

Skyview (5031) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - AUG 7, 2007
Purchased several cases (cans) for our company picnic. Pours a clear golden pale brew with a fast dissolving white head that leaves behind a white ring. Aroma has good balance of light malt, citrus zesty hops with a touch of peach. Taste is highly carbonated, light to medium bodied with bread dough and citrus flavors. Finish is slightly dry with a hoppy citrus flavor. A pretty decent canned light beer.

WallyWalrus (205) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - JUL 28, 2007
Canned. Pours a clear dark amber with a full but fleeting head. Slightly bitter hoppy aroma. Citrus and hops dominate the flavor with a somewhat lingering earthy finish. Very light, though not really too much so; a simple but refreshing pale ale.

alexsdad06 (3103) - Ohio, USA - JUL 23, 2007
12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a small disappearing off white head. The aroma is citrusy with a touch of pine hops thrown in. The flavor begins with fresh citrus which fades into a light malt finish. A little on the sweet side. Not bad. The mouthfeel is a little thin. Body is light-medium. The finish is a touch dry.

Had this in a CAN at the Pantages theathre for the awesome price of 6 bucks, SCORE! Wasnt to bad, certainly the best beer served there, but lacks a good hop flavor to it like other extra pales. Good to see this former MN brewery put some stuff in cans!

Crisp, with nose notes of sweet malt (carmel) and grains. Amber-copper with lasting thick head. Notes of carmel, hops, and spices that contribute to a decent balance. Smooth with a mild bitter finish.
