5000 (2400), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA Jan 1, 2008 Bottle: Fiery orange, clear, light carbonation, moderate to large off-white head, sticky lacing.   Pale hop nose, very minor
graininess.   Tastes like an English Pale Ale, very minor bitterness, slight biscuity flavors.   Moderate body and mouthfeel.  
Yeah, this one is very light for the style.   Either this is a English style Pale or its an East Coast example.   Decent, even if a
bit light.   Thanks dunkeylips.
SuzyGreenberg (1028), Seattle, Washington, USA Sep 30, 2008 12 oz. bottle - thanks to springslicker for the bonus bottle; clear copper and white head fades quickly; soapy aromas are sweet and fruity; light bodied and relatively flavorless; a little sweet too DrBayern (977), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA Aug 21, 2008 Date: 08/21/08 12 oz. bottle
Aroma - Light grain, fruit, some distant flroal and spicy hops
Appearance - Large white head over a coppery gold our, some nice sticky lace, a vary attractive beer
Flavor - Caramel malt sweetness is quite persistent, although some hop bitterness begins to come through as it finishes, some sticky sweetness lingers.
Palate - Medium body and carbonation, smooth, some stickiness
Overall - Quaffable, even if it is a little sweet. Not the perfect pale ale, but even so, seems somewhat under-rated to me. SpringsLicker (1824), Tennessee, USA Aug 14, 2008 Clear gold with a tall, long lasting, off-white head.
Sweet malt dominates the aroma with floral hops in the back.
The flavor is sweet malt with some hop bitterness at the edges.
Easy to drink.
$5.99 at Kroger. kwoeltje (1222), Manchester, Missouri, USA Aug 5, 2008 (12 oz bottle) amber orange with off white head. Floral hops aroma. Flavor is slightly bready malt with a lovely pine hops finish. MaltDawg (369), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jul 30, 2008 Caramel and sweet malty aroma with hint of floral hops. Clear golden with a small white head. Flavor follows aroma closely. Medium body with a dry bitter finish. Rather over bitter, but this particular bottle may be a bit old.
