Nov 21, 2004 Tap at Split Rock, ’04. Golden and clear with a white head. Nutty hoppy aroma. Hoppy flavor, with a nice nutty malt backbone. Lingering hops in the finish. Real nice offering.

Apr 21, 2004 Another well made brew from Otto's. Pours dark straw colored with a great hop aroma. Tastes very hoppy, with some malt, citrus, and floral flavors at the finish. A great beer.

Aug 28, 2008 On tap at Capones. Pours a mostly translucent golden amber with a small off white bubbly head. Aroma was a ton of fresh hops, loads of Cascade along with some Centennial, orange, pine, floral and a lot of caramel malt to balance it all out. Flavor was a lot of the same, nice chewy hops, great pale ale, nice balance of hop bitterness and malt. This should be the favorite beer of any kid who drinks beer at Penn State!

May 17, 2008 Light orange body with a thin white head in a HopDevil glass... bright and efficient, with sporadic tracings on the glass... sharp spruce and hops, light and clean... bubbly and smooth on the palate--a bit creamy on the tongue... swift and pleasant... a bit on the lighter side of pale ales--surprising (and refreshing) from a micro! and yet, perhaps, this is the way one should taste... a mixture of feelings: another winner from Ryan, but this ale is a step below Sierra Nevada, not to mention the other Otto’s brews I’ve sampled--but it is solid, and who doesn’t love something with Mt. Nittany in its name!?
