3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours dark gold with a medium sized head. Aroma is of bright, citrusy hops, primarily grapefruit and tangerine. Flavors are nicely hoppy, but still well-balanced to make this a great session brew. Palate was a little light for me, but these flavors blend superbly to create a luxurious, highly-drinkable pale ale.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12oz bottle. One of the better pale ales out there, even if it’s a far cry from something like Three Floyds Alpha King. Amber color with a white head. Floral hoppy aroma. Caramel malt and east coast hops create a balanced flavor. Not too exciting, but very drinkable. HARRISBURG!!!
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
(11/8/08) Bottle at friends’ house in Philadelphia (thanks David T). Almost clear, but slight hazy, amber color with a big bubbly white head. Floral hops in the nose as well as tropical fruit hints. A balanced flavor with some slightly biscuity sweet malt and nice assertive hop bitterness with some grapefruit notes. Medium-bodied. Tasty and very easy-drinking.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20
Smells sweetly of floral hops. Taste is nice bitter hops with a pleasant malt back. Very nice pale ale
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a nice dark golden color with a frothy white head and nice carbonation. The nose is honeysuckle and citrus with a nice yeasty back note. Citrus follows in the mouth with pine and a nice sweetness in the mid palate. Nice bitter finish. Good beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours an amber color with a white head. Decent citrus and pine hop aroma with some caramel malts. Flavor is citrus and pine hops right away but the flavor diminishes for only a slight hoppy finish. Caramel malts don’t blend as well as I would think they would from the aroma. Not bad.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
pours clear golden with light white head. faint pine and citrus aroma. Bite of the carbonation fades then Cascade hops come through. Hop flavor is slightly grassy with a bit of an aftertaste, malt plays second fiddle. Palate is light. A pretty straightforward beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: APR 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours gold with an off white head. The aroma brings a solid dose of citric hops. The flavor is nicely balanced with zesty citrus, floral hops, and sweet malt. Nice.
