Not without merit. Nice packaging. I could drink it with much pleasure on a summer’s day after a hours on the water.Maybe between lunch and dinner. The grain flavour is well pronounced and not bad. Yet that is about all I found remarkable in this bottle.

Oct 9, 2008 Bottle… Lightly hazed yellow ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Grainy, earthy, citrusy aroma. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy with tingly carbonation. Perfectly balanced, but a tocuh thin and watery. Moderately bitter with low acidity and zero residual sweetness. Short, crisp, mildly tangy finish. <b>Big thanks to Douglas88 for floating this one my way!</b>

Oct 8, 2008 <b>Objectively speaking:</b>
Typical golden pale ale that does not want to stand out of the crowds.

<b>I like:</b>
Brasserie Jo in downtown Chicago focuses on fine French cuisine and serves a broad range of local micros to accompany them. Their cheapest offering is this regular pale ale from Two brothers, so it serves as a “can be paired with anything” type of beer. Therefore, it assumes its absence of frivolity. Hay-like and grassy hops that become more floral in mouth.
<br />
<b>I dislike:</b>
Timid light cerealic malts.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle courtesy of dchmela. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a thin white head. Smells of caramel, some earthy hints, grass. Tastes spicy and earthy with a semi-sweet finish.

Oct 4, 2008 12 oz bottle. Bottle says "Golden Ale," not Pale Ale. Good slightly hazy golden color with a big white head that holds and laces well. Aroma is simple but refreshing (I am really stuffy so can;t really get the best sense of the aroma) - nice pale malt with a bit of sweet pine and grapefruit hops. Flavor is very grainy with a very distinct cereal flavor. The hops work well with it. Great pale ale style for the fall. Medium to light body, medium carbonation. Overall: good fall session beer wiht a bit more flavor than a simple Pale Ale

Jul 27, 2008 12oz bottle, courtesy of ryan. Thanks! Pours a slightly hazy, bright, lemony-orange color; off-white head with good retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Crisp, dry aroma showing sugar, citrus, and cereal; nicely dry with a mild mineral bitterness. Medium mouthfeel: resiny, mineral and citrus bitterness upfront, but not overtly bitter; crisp, dry at the core, lively carbonation, and just excellent drinkability overall; toasty breadiness and crackers, with a light malty sweetness; perfectly drinkable. Lengthy finish: crackers, toasty malts, and lingering mineral bitterness; excellent dryness and toastiness at the end.
