| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 21, 2007 12oz bottle shared courtesy of TomDecapolis. Poured a medium to deeper golden color with a small sized white head. Aromas of citrus and caramel. Tastes of citrus, caramel, and pine, and lighlty spicey in the finish. Thinner body. hopscotch (5474), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 26, 2008 Bottle... Mostly clear, golden ale with a small, fizzy, white head that dissipates in a flash. The nose offers lots of toffee and biscuit malts with lesser notes of perspiration and spicy hops. Medium to full-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and ticklish carbonation. Plenty of toffee sweetness overpowers the initial, snappy hop bite. Finishes honey-sweet.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 20, 2008 Pours a cloudy orange with a thin, spotty white head. Slightly grainy and semi-sweet pale malty nose has some mild grassy hop notes. Body follows suit with the aroma, some lightly sweet toasted grainy malt flavor and a muted bittering hop presence toward a bittersweet finish. Quite drinkable and not really offensive, just doesn’t seem to have any outstanding characteristics. Cletus (5052), Connecticut, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Dec 4, 2007 Pours amber with a thin off white head. Smells of citrus, some wheat. Tastes metallic with some underlying bitterness, but otherwise, not a whole lot going on here. JoeMcPhee (5000), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 5, 2009 Cloudy deep glden-yellow beer. Aroma is light and grainy. There is a very nice fresh soft maltiness. the hops are lightly fruity with a soft fresh sweet malt backbone. Low to moderate bitterness. Softly herbal with a bit of light tartness on the back. It’s kind of non-descript. Not bad, but not all that good either. Cornfield (4928), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 11, 2008 Golden of body with a short lived eggshell head that laces heavily, this has a pale malt sweetness to the aroma with a touch of candy corn and a faint herbl/floral/earthy hoppiness. Light on the flavor side, it has sweet malts, warm honeyed bread, and a very mild bitterness. Okay to drink, but difficult to recognize as an APA.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 4, 2007 Straw color with a smallish white head. Noble hops aromas, slightly grassy with a faint hint of dry pale malt. Quite dry in flavor, mild pale malt with the grass and lightly herbal hops undertone. For some reason I expected more depth and heft to this one. A light pale ale with lager tendencies. I will revisit shortly with a full bottle verses the four tries at a tasting last night. I will likely have some more descriptor, but I’m not sure the rating will change much.
