COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This perfectly balanced pale ale has a rich, malty taste and crisp, dry hoppy finish; marrying a blend of Cascade, Cluster and Hallertauer hops with Harrington specialty malt. For those who simply love great beer, Wolaver's rich taste, body and character make it a delicious choice. Certified organic.

Orange=brown. Nose is quite hoppy, flavor is similar with grapefruit. Is a bit sour as well. Eh.

Bottled. Not a bad beer. Nice bitter hop bite to it. With a west coast finish. A little cloudy on the pour.

brownaler (378) - Topsail Beach, North Carolina, USA - OCT 20, 2004
Medium amber appearance with small bubbles within. Has the nice sharp taste that is usual with organic beers with a strong malt aftertaste. On another note, this will problalbly be the last time I go to Peace St. Market since they keep thinking I have a fake ID. Fuck them. I don’t need that shit.

Bottle. Tiny white head, but does have nice lacing. Golden-orange, clear in appearance. Aroma is hoppy and earthy, with grapefruit odors. Flavor is hoppy, and there is a litle bit of a malt presence. Has creamy finish. I can really notice the cascade, but the cluster gives it a decent balance on types of aromas and flavors.

12 oz. bottle. Nice golden color with a medium off-white head. Nice carbonation. Grapefruit and citrusy aroma. Little lacing. A little maltier than I like, but pretty well-balanced. Not bad, not bad.

OldGrowth (1782) - North Carolina, USA - SEP 19, 2004
Bottle, from Julio’s. Bottled 1/9/04. Ok nose. Mealy/nutty/grapefruity. Kind of a cat chow scent. Clear brownish orange color. Small to no head,well a litttle ring would lingerfor a bit. Bitter sweet flavors. Carmel, grapefruit, burnt. Thinner body, kinda creamy. dry bitter finish. It ok, easy drinking. I’d like to try a fresher bottle.

Tap at Andy’s. In the past I have poo pooed the bottled product from Wolavers, as it is pretty much sub-par. But this keg example was decent enough. Kind of interesting how the last two ratings, the average, and my rating are all equal on this one. Anyway, Orange and clear with a white head. Aroma of hops mixed with a slight vegetable note. Flavor has a decent and evenly distributed hop profile. Nice hop flavor and bitterness. Smoe malt sweetness is present and a nice lingering hoppy finish.
