at flying saucer. Not as hoppy or alcoholic as bottle version, but very drinkable.

Jul 30, 2008 On tap. Pours with a large, creamy, off-white head covering a clear orangee body. Strong lacing you expect from a tap fresh beer. Aroma of light grapefruit hops. Taste is light citrus with maltey wheatiness and a light spicey hoppiness. Good fall back.

Jul 29, 2008 Draft at a local dive bar. It was basically the same as the bottled version - same great, almost spicy, floral hop aroma and flavor with just a hint of pale malt presence in the back - but much fresher. I have had bad (or just not so good) bottles of SN pale ale, but never a bad draft. Good stuff, great safety. I always seems to forget how good it really is though.

Jul 26, 2008 Pours a nice amber colorw ith a big off white head. Aroma is of citrus and pine hops. Flavor is much the same, but very well balanced by the malt, this one is a bit maltier than the bottle.

Jul 20, 2008 On tap in York, good golden pour with a large white head. Smell is hoppy and fresh, taste is hoppy, with a nice bitter finish, some fruity, sweet flavours. Very nice.

Jul 14, 2008 On opening bottle I get a cidery/pear blossom and hop smell. Fruity esters during the pour. Nice auburn-copper colour. Tangy and extra malty with caramel and sugary notes to it. The bitterness is savory, a hint of tobacco IS the best way to describe the mellow fragrance as you sip. A superior thirst quencher and an elegant touch to a working man"s beer.
