3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap @ The Page, Portsmouth, NH Color was a pale yellow color, small layer of white head, nearly no lacing. Light grapefruit on the nose. Taste was of malt and slight grapefruit hops. No bitterness at all, which I like a lot. High carbonation the left the mouth dry on the finish. Even with the dry finish it leaves you thirsting for more. Easy drinker. I could drink large amounts of this and feel no shame.

12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy dark gold body with a nice frothy one finger beige head that had excellent retention. The hopping is fairly light even for an APA, some slight leafy and floral qualities. Some biscuity and lightly toasted maltiness below. The flavor is lightly bitter, seems to have more of an English Pale Ale character than American, with the green leafy hoppiness. Light biscuity maltiness provides the framework. Lighter bodied and rather lively on the tongue, it’s quite drinkable. Nothing that will blow you away, but I have no trouble polishing off a few of these in a sitting.

From the 12 fl. oz bottle with an expiration date of Dec 2010. Pour - cloudy copper with long lasting, foamy, puffy, beige head and thin but consistant lacing. Aroma - has a nice well-balanced mixture of caramel malts, light hops, and a hint of citrus. Mouthfeel - comes in smooht and medium. Taste - fresh as can be with a clean caramel malt and thin hoppy balance. Overall very refreshing and a pale ale I could drink often.

On tap at a bar near Lake Winnipesaukee, NH. Pours a hazy copperish color with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is caramel malt and citrusy and floral hops. Flavor is also caramel malt and grapefruit/orange and floral hops. Nice sweetness and bitterness levels. A little rough on the palate with hop oils and medium body. Solid for the style.
