3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Points for being great-looking and incredibly, smoothly drinkable, this is an excellent session beer.
A good example of an English Pale, it lacks the hoppy, Northwestern bite of the American Ales I favor.
Quite good.

hazy dark amber, whispy tan head, lots of lace, soft floral hop aroma, great toasted, biscuit, and nutty malt flavors, balanced hop flavor and bitterness, a good cross between a viennia and a pale ale

A great dark pale ale... no head on the pour.. chocolate malt with a very dark amber in color
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brickstore. Pours a copper/amber color with a bubbly white head. Very carbonated and obviously very bitter. Quick on the finish. Slightly sweet and fruity. Points of for thin and watery. Nice to have a new brewery around. Like a little more complexity and backbone in my beers though.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a dark amber/brown - darker than typical pale ale. Light head. Aroma is of roasted malt (perhaps hints of spice) and hops. The beer has a very light mouthfeel. The carbonation tingles in a way that reinforces the spice aroma, but the flavor is mostly well-balanced malts and hops (neither notably malty nor notably hoppy) - but there is a surprising roasted bitterness and chocolate flavor lingering (from roasted malts). The finish is dry. The taste was much closer to a brown ale than a pale ale - and so was the color. Not a bad beer, but poorly classified
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Dark amber color with a white head. Had a sweet hoppy aroma. Very smooth easy drinking pale ale. Some maltyness up front and finishes with a little hop bitterness.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured a mostly clear dark copper color with a small off-white head. The aroma was sweet and fruity with grapey and toffee notes. The flavor was malty, fruity, and metalic. Semi-dry with a long bitter finish.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught pint at The Caledonian in Savannah, GA in the company of President Wunderbier. Dark amber-copper with a smallish quick-receding head....spicy nose, cinnamon and apples and good heavy bready/biscuity malts....lots of malt in the body, very full, with hints of dark roast and subtle dry hops, fairly sweet and juicy front heading into toffeeish stickiness in the middle, and drying out considerably at the finish....nice rendition, another solid beer I’d never heard of from this surprisingly good brewing state.
