Taverner (413), San Ramon, California, USA Jul 16, 2008 Very bready yeasty flavor. Some sweetness, but thankfully dry. Pours straw yellow. DTM (324), Winters, California, USA Dec 21, 2007 On tap, part of the 10 beer sampler. The worst one of the night. Couldn’t even finish my 4oz sampler glass. Not much body and a terrrible bitter finish. timfoolery (294), Alabama, USA Dec 21, 2007 On tap at Sudwerk. Kinda weak and skunky for the brew-type. The xtra was much better. I’ll echo the mention of the dish soap taste. bhensonb (2713), Woodland, California, USA Nov 7, 2007 Draft at the brewpub. Think the board said Plain Old Pale Ale. Maybe not. Aroma of pale malt and some sort of hop. Nice though. Amber gold color with an ok white head. Flavor is lightish pale ale with floral/citrus hop. Thinnish body with mild and creamy carbonation. Good drink. Finish is flowery, and has a fair amount of bitter. Delicious rather than hoppy. Decent pale ale. It was fun to alternate this with the Dragonfly. DYCSoccer17 (1994), Davis, California, USA Nov 1, 2007 .3 Liter on tap at the brewpub. The aroma appears to have some sort of dish soap presence, unfortunately. Plenty of orange citrus hops are also present with some light grassiness, too. A bit subdued with some sweet malts also present in the nose. Transparent orange-golden body with a small white head and nice lacing. Citric hoppy flavors to start. A bit tart and carbonated, too. Very very light maltiness in the middle, followed by some tannins. Dry, bitter, resiny hop bitterness finishes this beer. Too bitter, too dry, too unbalanced. Over-hopped and harsh, much like their brown ale.
