| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Feb 5, 2005 Updated: Sep 27, 200704-Feb-05 (12 oz bottle: Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa, CA)> While the malt base has some presence in this organic pale ale, it’s overrun by a honeylike sweetness and a strong floral flavor, and the combination of these two aspects is not doing it for me. There’s a slight grapefruit bitterness in the finish, but it’s too little, too late. The nose is fruity, sweet and floral, with a slight grain aroma that isn’t noticeable in the flavor. Light to medium body. Medium golden color, with a very slight haziness. Small off-white head fades to a wide rim around the edge of the glass, and leaves some streaks of lace behind. In the end, this simply isn’t an especially pleasant tasting beer. Cornfield (4928), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA

A mild malt backbone supports the balanced hopping of this brew which leaves you with a warm, bitter finish.
