2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20 nickd717 (3242) - San Francisco, California, USA - APR 20, 2011
12oz bottle. Clear golden-copper in color with a one-finger white head that leaves a film. The aroma is strange. Nutty with some sweet malt and mild hop notes. The flavor is like a nut brown pale ale. Nuts, caramel, and mild hop resins. Weird to say the least. Medium body with average carbonation. Not good overall. Hopefully freeing the hops with help Alabama make better beers than this.

12 oz from Spirits in Tuscaloosa. Pours hazy yellow with a white head. Nose is lots of malt with a twinge of honey and a bit of hops. Flavor is the same- lots of malt and just a few hops mixed in. Sweet and malty with a hint of hops in this light to medium-bodied APA.

From a bottle into a lager glass. Received in a trade with brentfeesh. Thank you, sir. Appearance is a translucent amber with a thick, fluffy beige head. Aroma is made up of hops, lemongrass, and grain. Taste is sweet up front, with some grapefruit coming through and other citrus fruits coming through about the middle of the drink. It finishes with a calm hop profile that is not very bitter. This beer would be great to drink several of, it’s just too bad I am not able to do so.

Thanks to Kirkpjr for this long time want. An Alabama beer brewed in Alabama.
I pored the bottle into my Sam Adams glass and was greeted with a two finger off white head sitting on top of a golden orange body.
My first thought on the aroma was lemon so I go with that. I liked the flavor It is great to see a Pale that doesn’t try to be an IPA this one was balanced out just right and a pleasure to drink. It had a medium body with ample carbonation. It drank extremely well and I was left wanting for more.
I would be proud to call this my local Pale ale great job Olde Towne

12oz bottle thanks to drowland! Pours a hazy orange with a white head and lacing through out the glass, the aroma is hoppy and the taste has a nice touch of citrus mixed in with the hops, pretty good.

8/18/10. 12oz bottle. Clear amber, almost orange, pour with a big fluffy off-white head that lasts. Mild bready aroma with hints of citrus. The flavor is sweet caramel malts and a hint of citrus hop with a lingering hint of chocolate. Not bad.
