Jan 3, 2010 12 ounce bottle thanks to Eric! Pours a clear copper color with a small fizzy white head. A light aroma of bananas, citrus and some grainy rye. The flavor is pretty simple but nice; light citrus and a spicy rye bite. Interesting.

Jan 2, 2010 12oz bottle pours a hazy, orange reddish. Quickly fading beige head. Light floral hop aroma. Medium body combined with a balanced mild hop bitter (short finish) makes this one very drinkable. Good effort in the far-reaching APA style.

Dec 31, 2009 Had an off-white head with a light amber beer. The flavor was citrus, with pine and it was hoppy with bitterness in the finish. To me, unremarkable.

Dec 6, 2009 Bottle from bhops -- Thanks again, man. Pours a deep amber/red under a light yellow head. Nose is hops with some definite grain notes that remind me of a July wheat field. The taste is big hop bitterness with a solid underlying malt base. The malt carries a hint of sweet caramel and the finish is just dry enough. This is the best I’ve had so far from this brewery and is a fine Pale Ale.

Nov 29, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden with a small white froth. Aroma is peachy, light burnt hair smell. Just a bit tart, earthy faded hops, hint of rye spiciness, sweet citrus finish. Crisp fine carbonation.

Nov 27, 2009 Aroma is kind of weak, but it seems all Real Ale beers are. Pours from a bottle a cloudy deep copper with one inch of bubbly head that laces out quickly. Medium sweetness, with a good about of hoppy bitterness to balance it. Medium body, with a creamy texture that goes down very nicely with an abrupt finish. Very impressed overall, definately one of the better rye beer offerings.

Nov 24, 2009 Bottle from Gagme97: Pours a deep, opaque shade of orange with a solid sheet of off-white head. Nose has a tremendous amount of a rye...and dusty orange wedges, white grape juice, and oro blanco grapefruit. Although it doesn’t slap you in the face, if you breathe deep and concentrate, the nose is actually quite nice. The body is nice and creamy and holds the flavors well...the flavors are creamy grapefruit and rye with a nice foundation of fluffy sweetness. The finish could use some work though...if there was a bit more bittering hops, it would crisp things out at the end and this could be the best pale ale ever. Unfortunately, I think the end kind of dulls out a bit. Regardless, this is certainly one of the better pale ales I have had of late....oh wait, this is probably the only pale ale I’ve had in years. Whatever.
