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.

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

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.

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.

(12 oz bottle) amber orange with off white head. Floral hops aroma. Flavor is slightly bready malt with a lovely pine hops finish.

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.
