Sweet, no sense of hops. I find it hard to clasify this as a pale ale. It is a very unoffensive brew but not nearly as good a version as Fullers.

Nate (3026) - Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 18, 2002
Sweet and malty aroma. Small white head sits atop light caramel beer. Medium, smooth carb. Tastes malty and a bit sweet. A bit vaporous. Not bitter at all. Tasty and refreshing. Reminded me of Tetley’s.

Aggie80 (740) - Michigan, USA - JUN 9, 2002
Almost a pinkish color to it. Bit of a skunky smell, but no aftertaste to it. Decend stuff and I wouldn’t turn it down. Certainly a step up from the world of American Megabrews.

malty yeast nose. hops are very mild. eh, nothing special

SJP (483) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 6, 2002
Nice and cloudy, which makes me like it instantly. however, the flavor was kind of mild, and the malt that I found in the aroma never showed up in the rest of the beer. Drinkable, but something I’ll go out of my way for.

austinpowers (2827) - New York, New York, USA - JUN 4, 2002
Amber, surprisingly cloudy for a non-wheat beer, neat mild fruity aroma, too bad the taste doesn’t match the smell, but it’s still quite nice, mildly bitter, full-flavored taste that’s not as mild as Newcastle Brown Ale

Not bad on tap. Good flavor, carbonation and the last pint from the pitcher tastes just as good as the first.
