Captures the soul of beer. It has a maltiness that reminds you that beer is a product of the soil. Balance of malt and hops.

Bottle. Copper colored pour with a beige head. Nice fruity aroma with a malty sweetness. Nice flavors of plums and raisins up front surrounded by a malty sweetness, and finishes with a nice bitterness. Pretty good.

I found this brew to have a very smooth flavor and a fruity aroma.No overwhelming bitter aftertaste.While I wouldn't consider this to be an outstanding brew, it is one that I would consider drinking for the evening.

Nice amber color with large but mostly diminishing head, some lacing, thin to medium -bodied. Floral and citrus nose, with a hint of grainy malt. Sweet and sour on the palate, only slighty hoppy aftertaste. A above average session ale.

Pours a cream, one-finger head that vanishes quickly leaving no lace. Slightly cloudy amber color. Medium-strong carbonation and medium bodied. Nose is faintly sweet. Starts on the sweet side with some hops hiding in the background. Clean finish, this is a good pale not loaded with hops. $3 for a 550ml bottle from Northend Superette Manchester, NH.

Great por with a thick rich head. Very little lacing. Great bitter taste. Closer to a bitter than a pale ale. taste is of slightly roasted chocolate and fruiity. Very clean smooth finish. Great clean, bitter beer.

Pours a golden body bordering on brown with a thick light light tan head. Malty sweet aroma with little to no hop hints, not your typical pale ale. Grainy malt flavor with underlying sweet roasted malts and spicey hops. Finishes smooth and more malty than hoppy, but a perfect blend of the two together. What a pale ale!

These guys make great beers! Orange-brown, aromas of butterscotch, citrus fruit, and gentle perfume. Biscuit and butterscotch-caramel malt flavours, nice fruity hop presence, earthy/minerally finish. Excellent.

Pours with almost no head. Amber in color, nice drinkable beer. It has a spicy taste that mellows out after drinking a bit.
