2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
16 oz draft at Tribes Alehouse (Mokena, IL). Pours a nice darker gold, a moderate whitish head atop cakes, laces well, stays decent sized. Aromas are a light floral and citrus bouquet, flowers and lemon rind, pale malts throw some sweetness upon. Light, underpowered. Initial is light bodied, lemony citrus comes on dominant, rind and pulp, a touch of lemon cream cookies, pale malts underneath with florals and a bit of earthiness. A very lemon tilted APA. Further in much the same, balanced, light. Not bad.

UPDATED: SEP 5, 2009 This was purchased at Krogers, The APA poured with a smallish head and clear amber color. The pale ale is a mild one with some hop bitterness. Cascade hops provide a hopiflavors that are balanced and bitter. Smooth finish with no bitterness. Not impressive. I did buy a 6-pack so I have more to try and evaluate. When you have one of these ales the run of the mill lagers are just boring.

A yellowish amber with a small white head. Weak hop arom, but very clean. flavor is decidedly soapy, funny that, and moderately hoppy. finishes sweet. Tame mouthfeel.

Same old same old - a decent beer from Point but far from anything special... would definitely choose something else.

tastes like and looks like a basic, cheap lager. Despite the recent date and amber bottle, this seems to have aged poorly.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle - Pours medium amber with a 2 finger white head. Very nice lacing from top to bottom. Nice citrus taste with a hoppy finish. Not a go-to Pale Ale, but a nice change.

Pours a clear amber color with a thin white head. Basic aroma of malt and hops. Tastes of hops, grass, citrus, malts, grains, bread, caramel, and light orange or coriader. Light body. Not a good Pale Ale overall.

Nice dark golden color. Good head that sticks to glass. Text book pale ale taste. It’s not impressive, but good.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle: Medium floral hop. Decent hop flavors but the supporting beer is a bit weak. Nothing special.
