pumpmaster (265), Florida, USA Jun 14, 2008 Tap 4.5 oz sample at the O.H. Brewery in Old San Juan, PR. A good selection. cheapdark (1547), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 27, 2008 Sampled at the brewpub in Old San Juan. Light brownish almost like watered down iced tea and it is a bit hazey. Creamy thin head that hangs. Has IPA hints in the aroma. Some mild pine as well. Certainly an ale with its annoying hopped prudish flavors. Not quite as high on the IPA flavor scale but it does approach that level. Ropey savory and dull pale ale finish with a medium lingering medicinal bite. Pwn3d (591), NYC, New York, USA Apr 3, 2008 On tap at the San Juan location. Dark amber pour with a hint of haze. Thin white layer of head covers the brew for the entire length of the beer. Pretty floral in the mouth at first but settles very smooth. Not astringent at all. unclemattie (1556), Georgia, USA Nov 1, 2007 27 oct 07, on tap @ Old Harbor Brewery in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Clear, deep amber color. White foamy head. Sweet aroma, hop florals, a little citrus, and hints of roses. Fizzy character. Huge hop florals for a Pale Ale...Its more of a WestCoast Style than an English PubStyle Pale Ale. Bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied. Derek881 (321), Frederick, Maryland, USA Sep 2, 2007 Sampled on draft at the brewpub in wonderful Old San Juan. The aroma was not its strongpoint, a mix of hop-scents, some wheat and yeast, and a bit of grain. A slight malt character, but not easily detected. The appearance was traditional, a gold-copper color with a decent, bubbly white head. The flavor was good, mostly bitter and sour; not a sweet beer. Might have been better if not for being slightly watered down. It had a good fizzyness on the palate, with a full mouthfeel, and slightly drying effect.
