Soonah (532), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Dec 31, 2007 From IrishBoy via trade. Thanks! The pour was clear and light copper with a thin white head that didn’t sustain and failed to produce much more than a spot or two of lacing. The aroma was light, sweet malt with some floral hops. The flavor followed suit with the floral, somewhat earthy hops leading the charge as the malt and pine struggled to gain a foothold. The mouthfeel was forgettable but overall it was a drinkable diversion.
hopdog (4779), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 9, 2008 12oz bottle acquired in trade with odeed (thanks!). Poured a deeper and clear golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of earthiness, some grains, and floral. Tastes of caramel, citrus (oranges), and floral. fiver29 (365), Strongsville, Ohio, USA May 2, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Irishboy. Pours a slight hazy amber color with a thin white head. Has a nice nose to it with some slightly spicy floral hops. Mouthfeel is light. Tastes like a rough around the edges pale ale with some rough caramel malt blending with some hops that don’t seem to be in the right proportion. Overall a nice brew. kp (6300), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Dec 12, 2007 <b>Name:</b> Moto Pale Ale<br />
