| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Dec 26, 2007 Bottle and served in standard pint glass: Clear golden hue with a rocky white head and very good lace. The aroma has notes of biscuity pale malt, some herbal and floral hops, a hint of apricot ester, a touch of soap and plastic. The taste is a rather straight forward simple soft grainy malt with a very light amount of hop bitterness and a dash of honey. The mouth feel is moderately carbonated and watery. This is hardly what anybody would assume is an American Pale Ale, it lacks bite or depth of palate. Once again confirming that almost every Organic beer sucks.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 25, 2007 Pale yellow, mild carbonation. Light fruity flavor, mild hops balance it out. A little bit grainy, but not in an offensive way. Not much to say about this one, would make a good session beer since it isn’t heavy and goes down well. Tripplebrew (493), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 25, 2007 Pours a deep gold but with very little head. The aroma is fruity, hints of raspberry. Flavor is very light, some hops but not very strong. A bit of spice to the flavor cloves and citrus with bitter undertones. Nothing too remarkable about this beer. keoki182 (305), West Bend, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 24, 2007 Golden yellow with no head. Smells grainy and slightly hoppy. This tastes about as close to a pils to me as an APA, but it’s smooth, drinkable, and clean. This is the type of beer that routinely comes off as skunked to my nose and palate. The fact that this one didn’t is a testament to its quality. Not my favorite style, but well-made as usual for NG. prosqtor (408), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 23, 2007 Not nearly as hoppy as I expected given (1) It’s an APA (2) the commercial description. This is a well-balanced ale, with plenty of hops but nice malted barley offsetting the bitterness. The balance is probably why other reviewers are disappointed. Not the greatest beer ever, or even the best NG beer, but pretty good. And that’s saying something. From the bottle in a shaker. Pours a thick foamy head that left a ring and some lacing.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 23, 2007 Pours yellow with a moderate, white, fluffy head. Aroma is light with some sweeter, fruity qualities. Moderate mouth feel. Flavor is sweeter, with some light fruity qualities. Hop bitterness hits the end and the finish is quite clean. jsquire (2100), St. Marys, Ohio, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 23, 2007 Golden ale with a thin white head. Not much in the nose, but what I got was a little soapy. The flavor does have a nice light citrun hop to it and some caramel sweetness, but it all seems thin. Actually this is a pretty generic pale ale. Nothing really to detract from it, but I expect more from New Glarus. hopdog (5552), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
