clear amber, thin beige head, nice sweet citrus aroma, good body, tasty sweet carmel malt flavor with good hop character and a mild bitter finish, flavor does not quite live up to the aroma but is still very nice, a quaffable pale ale

Oakes (8058), gone rambling, Vietnam Apr 30, 2008 Bright amber colour. Lightly floral and citrusy aroma with a slight toastiness. Low bitterness. Some woody, citrusy hop notes but a fairly light, watery production overall. fiulijn (7150), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Dec 4, 2007 Draught at Sheffields, Chicago Hazy light amber color. An ordinary APA, quite dry and strongly hopped, not much body. Unfortunately, it’s spoiled (apparently, a problem with the keg). argo0 (6861), Washington DC, USA Jan 31, 2007 (12oz bottle, bottled 2nd week November) Crystal clear amber body topped by large off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit/pine, some bread/caramel, apricot. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, some lime, cookie, light orange/floral. Light-medium body. Very nice take on the style.

Golden coloured and very hoppy with pale aroma. Crisp on the palate. Slightly bitter malt finish. hopdog (5534), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 29, 2006 12oz bottle acquired in trade with DavidP (thanks!). Poured a clear, medium amber color with a larger sized off white head. Floral aromas with caramel, and lightly spicy. Tastes of grass, caramel, and spicy. Thinner body. hopscotch (5440), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Oct 1, 2002 Updated: Aug 11, 2006Bottle at Brickskeller... Commercial description suffices. Very good beer. If you like other amber ales that I have ranked fairly high, this one will not disappoint. CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jun 16, 2003 Pours a clear copper with a thin, small-bubbled lacy head. Aroma is mostly Cascade hops with some pale malt. Body is lightly sweet, moderately bitter and pretty well-balanced. A nice, pleasant pale ale for a hot summer day. A good offering from Lakefront.
