2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/2012 ounce bottle from a Kroger. Pours a clear amber color with a medium offwhite head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of citrus hops and caramel. The taste is citrus hops, grainy malts a bit of caramel and chlorine. Thin-medium bodied.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 5/20
Very mild pale ale. Has a watery taste to it. Mild hoppiness comes through. Can see drinking this on a hot summer day while outdoors, but this is just mediocre at best.

One of the worst beers ever. I dumped most of it down the sink. Thoroughly disgusting.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Appearance: Well, it looks like a pale ale. It has a very bubbly head with some surprising lacing. Lots of carbonation. Probably this beer’s highlight.
Smell: Musky. As another reviewer said, I kind of get a kitchen soap aroma in there as well, now that I think about it. Maybe some grassiness. Something about it smells sort of cheap.
Taste/feel: Well... I don’t know. Initially it tastes pretty decent, but then the feel/aftertaste really comes in. There’s about a medium carbonation here, but the aftertaste has a -- get this -- watery taste. How? It just does. It’s quite odd. I can see how this could be a good beer when you’re thirsty after a hot day outside, but this really didn’t even deserve to be poured into a pint glass. It’s definitely much better than typical macros out there, but as far as pale ales, this one misses the mark a little bit.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Does not have an overly hoppy flavor at all Pretty well balanced beer with some slight cardboard taste. Pretty refreshing and very drinkable.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12oz bottle. Pour is a clear bright orange with a layer of light white lace. Aroma is nicely hoppy, with a clear malt backbone and just a touch of sweetness. Flavor actually reminds me briefly of a corn beer or adjuncts. There is certainly enough hops to call this an American pale ale and it’s refreshing - but I’m worried about what is hidden here.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A decent, if rather subdued APA, with a relatively dry and light body. The taste is mostly of hops; flaws of omission (intensity and complexity) rather than commission. High drinkability; low interest.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Score: 81
Color: faded brown
Nose: hops and sour mash with a hint of spicy-ness
Taste: something resembling sour mash on the front end, a little bit of rye added to a sour mash flavor on the mid palette, rye whiskey and spicy-ness on the finish
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
This is shitty beer. Ratebeer.com wants my review to be more than 75 characters, and it is now, and this is indeed shitty beer.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
just like their Amber ale this is quite a good beer! the only "negative" is the finish which is just neutral to me... definitely top notch
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: FEB 28, 2013 Cloudy yellow color with light head. Aroma is a bit yeasty for a pale. Not hop forward, but not a bad flavor here. Seems like a miss for the style, but not a terrible beer. Won’t go for it again, though this could be a good saegway to craft beer for Bud drinkers, I guess.
