COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This great American Pale Ale is hand-crafted with a natural blend of the finest barley malt, Munich, Carapils and Crystal specialty malts, Cascade and Williamette hops and pure water. The taste is clean and complex, with a fruit accent and a dry, hoppy finish.

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.

ZR2Blazer (87) - Christiansburg, Virginia, USA - JUN 5, 2009
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.

bluemooner (422) - Isanti, Minnesota, USA - MAY 25, 2009
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.
