Cloudy dark gold pour, with fluffy off-white head which fades rapidly, leaving a dense lace. Nicely balanced with a toasty malt beginning and a clean, hoppy finish. Medium body with a great mouth feel, which is unusual for a PA. The amount of sediment in this bottle surprised me and I ended up with too much in my glass, which bittered the finish Nena (234), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 13, 2009 Poured a slightly hazy orange with a big fluffy white head. Left a good amount of lacing. Has a light hoppy aroma with citrus and grass notes. Flavor is a little toasty and sweet up front, then finishes very dry with floral and bitter citrus hops. The hop flavor lingers for a nice long while. One of my favorite pale ales. kp (8600), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

Bittersweet, with great northwest hops countering lots of caramel malts. Dry finish, full mouthfeel... there’s nothing at all outstanding here, but this is an instant classic. Good stuff all around.
