TPaliga (212), Munster, Indiana, USA Dec 7, 2006 Pours golden with perfumy hop nose. Some bready yeast in nose as well. Light palate. Good session beer. Fightfire4beer (125), Virginia, USA Dec 6, 2006 Tap. dark gold color with a medium white head. faint fruit aroma. Slightly fruity, sweet alt flavor with a hoppy finish. B after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA Nov 6, 2006 Updated: Feb 9, 2008Bomber. Pours clear golden amber with a sudsy white head that doesn’t hang around. Fairly neutral nose; really not much there other than a whiff of sweet grain. Lightish body, medium carb. Not much flavor on the attack or the mid palate, but there’s a suggestion of caramely malt and some light c-hop there. The c-hop picks up on the finish, and hangs around for a little while. Well-made, balanced, solid, refreshing. Nice to know this beer exists, even if it’s not one of the all-time greats. I’ll always be happy to order it with food, and will have it again as a session beer. Nicely done, Rande.
Had this on draft at the brewery also, as the Nitro Pale. Flatter, weaker, waterier, less flavorful. Works out to be a 2.8 on nitro, but I’m not putting those numbers against the total score because...nitro. JorisPPattyn (5155), Antwerpen, Belgium Apr 21, 2006 Draught Golden-orange; head gone. Still very hoppy, with a good sweetsmelling malt backing. Sweet-ish beer with soem hoppy uplifting. Seems like Belgian white candi sugar is used, or/and a very slight amount of maize. Bit toasted. Creamy texture, velvety, even when the body is rather light. Pleasing drinking beer. fakepurseninja (772), Washington, USA Apr 14, 2006 Updated: Jan 10, 2007Really nice pale ale - crisp and clean, lightly bittered with a nice hop mixture flavor. quick dissapating head, semi-dry finish. Oakes (8057), gone rambling, Vietnam Mar 9, 2006 Hazy amber colour. Fruity aroma with some caramel. Light, balanced character. Some berryish esters and light hops. Decent. omhper (12153), Stockholm, Sweden Feb 23, 2006 Bottled. Hazy amber. Strong grapefruity hop aroma. Fairly sweet with rather clean mouthfeel and firm body. Very bitter finish. A solid, very well hopped beer. BeerPrince (1701), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Feb 8, 2006 Straight forward and well made. Body is copper with a nice frothy head. Aroma is quit hoppy with a citrus note. Nice malt body with a finish of earthy hops.
