Sven (229) - Lancaster, California, USA - NOV 20, 2004
Hazy-golden colour, strong defined head. Smells like an IPA, tastes like an APA. No off-flavors, nothing spectacular. Well made and average.

BeerLimey (2154) - California, USA - NOV 20, 2004
Hazey amber hue, modest head formation. Caramel malty nose, mild citrus hoppiness. Sweet butteerscotch flavor, balanced by a fairly citric bitter finish. Pretty weak attempt at a much immitated style.

SledgeJr (3577) - Omaha, Nebraska, USA - JUL 28, 2004
In the bottle at the 2004 Crescent Moon Vintage Beer Tasting. This beer had a nice malty feel to it. I like it a lot. Very good hop and malt balance. Still impressively carbonated even though it was about a 12 year old bottle of beer.

DarkElf (2961) - La Jolla, California, USA - JUN 9, 2004
(Bottle) Fruity, malty and moderately sweet with a mildly bitter hops presence, this is a pretty flavorful and enjoyable pale ale which demonstrates solid balance; The long lasting finish is still quite malty with some sweetness, but the hops becomes just a little more assertive and shows a wee bit of grapefruit-- very nice; Medium bodied but heavier and a little more sticky on the palate than most American pale ales, but I like it; The nose is quite fruity and malty with a mild sweetness, but a very light hoppiness; Deep orange in color with a very slight cloudiness; Light tan head is nice and frothy, with solid retention and fairly dense lacing; The brewer has done well here with a solid and above average effort for this style

elnadeau (786) - Laguna Niguel, California, USA - MAR 31, 2004
Brownish gold, small white head, aroma of citrus & pine hops. Malt character is good, fruity (oranges?), hops finish is very nice. Well balanced and enjoyable, a decent APA.

frankR (145) - Davis, California, USA - JAN 2, 2004
Smells and tastes of pine hops, yet well balance. Very refreshing. Drank from a bottle after a long day of cross country skiing, this brew was a nice refreshing way to end the day.

herbjones (742) - Orange, California, USA - DEC 10, 2002
Honey colored pour with a quickly fading head. Nose has a weird butterscotch aroma. Slight hop bite and a strange sweetness come out on the first sip. Dont know what to make of this one.
