Feb 27, 2007 Updated: Jun 4, 2008Rerate; bottle. Poured an amber color, not much head. Aroma was lighter than I remembered, but still malt heavy. A little hoppier than I remembered, which I liked. Overall not much to say differently, although I really think that it is a very good version of the style now. 3.4 to 3.5. (Bottle; poured a light amber. Aroma was a little too heavy on the malt for my liking; didnt pick up on much hops. Good session beer; nice blend of malt, rye and hops flavors. Not much after taste; good mouthfeel.)

Feb 27, 2007 Bottle. Nice aroma of hops, malt/grain, and some sugar. Very good mouthfeel. A sweet flavor with a mild hop presence. Crisp finish. One of the better pale ales I have had.

Feb 27, 2007 Bottle. Mostly diminishing white head. Slightly cloudy dark orange color. Aroma was light; Grapefruit with some floral hops. Flavor initially lightly sweet and finishes with some bitterness. Texture is slightly watery. Overall much probably best pale ale I have ever had, but it is still a pale ale.

Feb 22, 2007 On the pour, white head, small, deminishing. Nice aroma, strong hoppiness and yeast content. Left a little bit of an aftertaste. Terrapin normally isnt my favorite, but Id say this was the best one I’ve had yet.

Feb 14, 2007 Served in my Dogfish Head pub pint glass.
Pours a amber color with a slight head. Slight lacing left on the side of the glass.
There’s a little hint of hops in the nose.
The taste is pretty average. Some hops can be found, blended in with a pretty good ale.
This is a good everyday beer. It’s highly sessionable and goes down quite easy. Not something to write home about, but it would be nice to see a sixer in the fridge.

Feb 11, 2007 Very strong offering from Terrapin - probably the best brewer in the South (Sweetwater is close.) This PA is very balaced and one of the best standard PA’s you will find - over 90th percentile for PA’s.

Feb 9, 2007 12 oz bottle-from Secret Santa. Pours a clear copper color w/no head. Floral hopped aroma. Crisp, clean, dry hopped flavor w/a touch of citrus & spice hits you when you take your first drink. Followed up by a nice rye malt/roasted barley flavor which balances out the beer well. Brings the aggressive hop flavor down & makes the beer enjoyable. Long dry finish-very enjoyable.
