TAR (2010), Boulder Co., Colorado, USA Jun 4, 2003 Pale almond. Thin sticky ring of foam. Dry-hopped, but very well balanced aroma of jellied malts, juicy hops, pine sap, spruce, and caramel. Underlying herbal notes teamed with diacetyl and must. Smooth, fuzzy carbonation. Round mouthfeel. Sweet malts are balanced by faint bitterness, light acidity, caramel, tropical fruit, subtle spicy hops, candied white grape, and pine sap. Jellied malt flavors linger alongside hop oil and a zippy pine note. Extremely well balanced in every aspect. And what a wonderfully soft, round mouthfeel. Hands down among the best Pale Ales, if you can appreciate its subtleties. Dragonblaze99 (246), Greater London, England Jul 15, 2002 Deep, hoppy aroma. Opens with pleasant hoppy tand. The middle is firmly malty with a complex blend of flavors. Finishes malty. Long, lingering and complex aftertaste. Very pleasant ale indeed. Falconseye8 (522), Cartersville, Georgia, USA Apr 18, 2004 Sweeeeeeeeetttt!!!! Very nice first taste. Hoppy, sweet, not too bitter very nice pale ale. Very drinkable. Great hotweather beer like weather I'm experiencing here today. Never had this glad I tried it. proc (343), Dearborn, Michigan, USA Jul 12, 2002 Pour out to a orangish-copper color with a decent off-white head. Aroma is that of grapefruit as is the initial taste. A very nice interpretation of a Pale Ale. The hop bite feels like it is intense, but it really is more like highlighted or showcased. Very drinkable.
OD40oz (401), Box Elder, South Dakota, USA May 20, 2004 Pretty damn good. Nice and amber in color with a strong taste. I like Big Sky Scape Goat Pale Ale better and Cutthroat Porter is way better than this.
