2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft at the brewpub - Poured a copper colored amber with a small off-white head which left minor lacing on the glass. Aroma is mostly lightly roasted malts with just a bit of citrus and floral hops. Easy drinking, but not very interesting...

Nice beer! Smells good, a little fruity. Brown color with creamy head. Hoppy, but not bitter. Very smooth drink.

On draft at the brewery. Very dark orangish color. Nice white head. As advertised smooth as silk. Just nit much flavor. Very drinkable.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap Feb 2008: Pours a transparent copper bronze with a well-lacing frothy off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale malt with some toasted notes and fresh noble hops and citrus. Body starts lightly sweet and somewhat thin with a mild citrusy bitterness before a crisp, clean finish. Drinkable, but that’s about it.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
(draught at the brewpub) medium amber with almost no head. Mild hops and malt aromas. Flavor is bicuit malt with a hint of hops in the finish.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Slightly cloudy golden body topped by a long lasting medium off-white head leaving good lacing. The beer looks good, the reasonably malted body feels ok, the carbonation is pleasant but man, the beer tastes almost nothing. No aroma to speak of. Faint caramel and faint roastiness. Absolutely inexpressive hops. Flavourless mild bitterness. Not offensive, just deprived of flavour. Feels cheap. Cotton Ale.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
En fût. Verre dégusté à la brasserie. Arôme: Légère odeur de malt et d’houblons. Apparence: La couleur est orangée avec une faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un moyen col mousseux et d’une large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Léger goût de malt et d’houblons. Courte durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est mince avec une texture légèrement crémeuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. (Rating #973)

My Bottom Line:
The shy balance of citrusy hops and pale maltiness in this pale ale makes for an easy-drinking experience, but its excessive simplicity does get tiresome.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A screen of foam covers the hazy caramel amber.
-The finish is dry, and facilitates the subsequent sip.
-Carbation is smooth, helping the mouthfeel.
-The cereal sweetness is pleasant, but doesn’t offer much complexity.
On tap at the brewpub.
