beerandIT (177), Richmond, Virginia, USA Apr 20, 2009 I liked this one. I think given the style it is very nice and holds its own. Pours a nice gold color with just under an inch of head or right there at it. Light bodied pale ale. Some malts there with a hint of hops. Very smooth and palatable pale ale. Light malts on the aftertaste. Try this one sometime, great for the summer. HomeBrewHawk (263), De Soto, Kansas, USA Apr 19, 2009 12oz brown bottle served in a shaker pint. Poured a brilliant clear gold with less than a finger of tight bubbled white head. Piney hop aroma with some biscuity malt. Plenty of hop bitterness. Light to medium bodied. Could use a little more malt. Lots of carbonation. Hops provide a drying finish. Very drinkable. A solid pale ale. mjs (1445), Helsinki, Finland Apr 19, 2009 (Bottle at Hilpeä Hauki, Helsinki, on 2009-04-17) Golden and clear. Small white head. Fruity and hoppy aroma. Medium bodied and dry palate with medium carbonation. Mustiness, frutiness, bitterness and sweetness in taste. Lightly bitter aftertaste. nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Apr 15, 2009 Source: On tap at Medici in Normal, IL. Appearance: Poured a slightly hazy gold color with a one finger white head. Aroma: Mainly floral but a bit of sweet fruit and caramel malt were presesnt. Flavor: The flavor was a little unbalanced. Not a lot of malt, but a solid hop presence and a good bitter finish. Palate: Medium body with good carbonation and a clean mouthfeel. Overall: Good American Pale, but only an average offering in the style. Kind of subpar offering from ST.
faroeviking (6016), Republica Vikingo de las, Faroe Islands Apr 15, 2009 Botella. Clear deep golden colour with a white head. Fruity bit sweet hoppy aroma. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is refreshing with fruits, some caramel, some pine and a pleasant bitter hoppiness. LearninBeer (194), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA Apr 14, 2009 Pours a clear golden color, virtually no head, good lacing. The aroma is flat and stale, has a vague aroma of hops and malts, more like a macro. The taste is bland, something you have to aquire like a macro. I think this is what they are gong for, so good luck. Blaketj80 (78), Oklahoma, USA Apr 14, 2009 Pours with finger white head and is golden clear. Smells of limey citrus and slightly malty. It harsh hop character with no hop complexity. It is kind of boring and not making me want another drink. Wouldn’t buy again. cgarvieuk (4159), Edinburgh, Scotland Apr 12, 2009 Bottle at home ... with Jan and charlotte ... amber ... white bubble light head ... sweet light paine american pale ale hop nose ... juicy lots of pine and floral hops ... light bitterness ... quite open and fresh
