Pours a clouded yellow. Smells of the same hops as other tugboat beers. Tastes of nothing but the hops that are in all the other tugboat beers but not as strongly as in some. Week tepid aftertaste. A dissapointment.

Had this as just "Pale Ale" at the brewery, July 2005. Had a bit of a funky smell to it (don’t they all?) - with some old cheese and leafy hops, some spoiled fruit such as orange, pineapple and apricots. Just plain weird.

Tap@Tugboat. Pretty bitter and dry, a cross between an English and American style pale ale. Has the aromatic NW hops, with a salty, bitter dryness in English beers. OK by me.

Draft: Bready, Yeasty, Citrusy (grapefruit) nose. Amber color. Bitter grapefruit taste. Clean,but bitter finish. Very Good.
