2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20Good reddish-brown colour, little head, and that disappears quite quickly. Nice malt/hop nose some attractive citrus character there. Palate is predominately malt, was hoping for a lot more hops, so there is a noticable sweetness to the fore, with a gentle citrus hoppiness creeping at the end. Quite drinkable, but not a typical American Pale Ale!
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light amber with a small head. Not quite as hoppy as expected from an American ipa. More like just a normal ipa.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Aroma is a bit stale but has some sweet malts. Flavour is a bit dull and muted. It lacks the fresh, clean taste that is expected from American hop.

355ml bottle, 28/04/13. Golden orange, good head. Aroma - Bit lagery, bit metallic. Light citrus, spicy hop. Malt smells a bit naff. Taste - Mid sweet malt, quite wheaty, lagery tasting & not great. Metallic. Bit solventy. Hops are citrussy & OK; bit spicy, piney & orange zest. Bit over-bittered for the light malt. Med body. Lightly sweet, tangy citrus finish. Some OK hop flavours, but the malt lets it down, and there are some unpleasant flavours. Not great, but drinkable.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
The aroma is surprisingly full with a good combo of malt and hops. However variety is missing and that extra character. Appearance is ok with a solid amber colour, but nothing too exciting or inviting here. At first, the taste is quite meaty, but quickly loses its focus and becomes very bland. A good longevity is missing here. This is a pretty good beer, but suffers by losing its character quickly. I like my American style pale ales to keep their character for longer.

Nov 2012 - cold bottle. Mild American PA - mostly a malty flavour with understated hoppiness. Quite similar to a traditional British IPA.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from a local Sainsburys store last year. An orange/amber coloured pour with a small white head on top. Hoppy, malty aroma. Taste is similar, slightly hoppy, malty, slightly sweet and a hint of caramel.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Amber orange in colour with clear white head, muted aroma and a restrained flavour. Maybe a good beer for macro drinkers as a cross over beer but not challenging enough or good enough to match the standard bearers.
