3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
An average beer, though so-so pale. Good C hop aroma. Good lacing. Fresh. Citrus flavour bitterness, and malt secondary. Tasted more bitter than IBU 31 self-evaluation. Creamy, middling mouthfeel. Above average carbonation.

tap at brewpub - . Orange pour. Lovely hops aroma of mint & spruce. Nice spice but a bit bland. Sweet caramel. Something off at the finish. Ok... smells better than it tastes.

On tap 8/1/2011
Pours a deep golden color with a thinnish white head that dissipates slowly and leaves some lace. Earthy, citrusy aroma mixed with a bit of bread and toffee. Taste is much the same, a bitter citrusy hoppy beer with a smattering of toffee and caramel malts. Medium body and carbonation level with a resinous bitter mouthfeel. Decent Pale ale, nothing special but certainly a drinkable beer.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours amber gold with an off white head. Light floral hoppy with some toasty malts. Well balanced flavor. Toasty sweet malts with floral hops. Nice.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This ale poured a glorious amber in color with a nice, frothy off-white head. Citric hops in the aroma. Medium bodied, some sweetness, with a solid foundation of seemingly columbus andc ascade hops. A terrific quaffer.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Amber, creamy light tan head. Nose was quite hoppy with notes of florals, hints of grapefruit, and a touch of sweet caramel. Well bittered and one sided towards the hops, but it does show some light sweetness upon further warming. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry, bitter finish. Finally one from these guys that I would turn into a session ale...
