| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 17, 2005 a decent hoppy pale ale but lacks the complexity of the better ones. a decent low price option. OhioDad (2491), Hilliard, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 25, 2005 Pours straw color with a nice white head that lasts all the way down the glass. Aroma is cascade hops just as you’d expect. The flavor is much less bitter than I’m used to in microbrewed pales. This one seems a little sweeter. Maybe more orange and honey in the flavor, but bitter on the backside with citrus and pine. Very drinkable. Light on the palate. Nothing extremely exciting with this one but a good tasting pale ale that I’d drink again. ryan (1781), Beltsville, Maryland, USA

Nice lacing. Big hops aroma. Citrus and pine dominate, a slight malt underneath. Flavor is also hop dominated (earthy and citrus), but has a solid semisweet malt presence. Medium body, dry and bitter finish. Lively carbonation. A refreshing beer. JCB (1799), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 13, 2008 I have always enjoyed this brew, one of the go-to beers around D.C. for a good long while. Essentially it’s a robust golden pale that’s as heavily hopped as it is creamily malty, an East Coast analogue to SNPA. Hopefully it comes back in circulation. moejuck (1172), Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 3, 2006 The pour is a nice golden color with a white head. The aroma is pine hops, and that’s about it. The flavor is hoppy with a some malt, but pretty one dimensional overall. However, as far as APA’s go, this one stands out with a better palate than most.
