pumpkinheart (63), Aurora, Illinois, USA Mar 27, 2008 12 oz. bottle into Lager glass. Bright coppery color with about a one and a half finger head. Only slight lacing. The aroma is a light, fruity spring day sort of smell. Flavor was less hopped than expected, but not overly flavorful in a memorable way. Palate was appropriately lingering, it seemed. Gave me time to remember the flavor, but didn’t stick around all night. Overall, a fair representation of a generally rather uninspired variety of beer. It’s drinkable and better than the macros, I say.
biznizness (673), Mooresville, North Carolina, USA Jun 7, 2008 Well, apparently I was digging this a lot more than everyone else. A nice malty, smokeyness type thing going, full of flavor. Bueno. These guys don’t know what they’re talking about. shendrix (429), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA May 22, 2008 A pleasant pale with flavors of pine and grassy hops mingling with wheat and a very light malt finish coming through. The downside is that it’s not a very complex brew--but quite drinkable nonetheless. FROTHINGSLOSH (1448), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA May 5, 2008 This beer came in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium golden color with a large white head. The aroma was sour and tangy with a hint of butterscotch. The flavor was bitter, tangy and had notes of butterscotch and caramel. There was a trace of fruitiness underneath. The finish was long bitter and tangy. n49921 (78), USA Apr 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours golden with a light aroma. Flavor is more soft than hop, but not bad, and had a touch of hops at the end. Not bad, but not a lot of bite. Not bad if that is what your after. changeup45 (531), Orlando, Florida, USA Apr 12, 2008 A nice all around Pale Ale. Golden brown color that pours a fairly thick head that leaves quite a bit of lace. I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth this was and by how well balanced the flavor seemed to be. Sweet malty taste with hops a smooth finish, hint of bitter. None of the characteristics really overshadowed the other, thought I thought it had more malts than anything else. It’s not the best Pale Ale I’ve had, but I did enjoy it.
