does not count  Aug 23, 2006 Pretty good if you wand a hoppy aroma and bittering without the high alchol usually associated with the style.

Aug 13, 2006 Not a bad beer overall. Has very little aroma, and a massive head. Too much carbonation, it seems. Taste is subtle, but fairly hoppy. I kind of like this beer. I could drink it everyday, and with the alcohol being so low, I could keep my head on straight.

Jul 23, 2006 Mediocre, Mediocre, Mediocre. APAs need to have a bit more oomph for my liking. A little citrusy, goes down smooth, not really worth the effort.

Jun 20, 2006 12 oz bottle. Pours a light gold with a white head. Citrusy orange hop nose. Flavor is lightly fruity, some malt sweetness and a touch of lemon. And I mean lightly. As in almost no flavor. Suprising after a pretty pleasant nose. Light bitter finish. Not bad, just not, um, much of anything.

May 16, 2006 Um, not a fan. Had this at the Philly airport after missing a flight to Miami. Didn’t look like a pale ale, it was too light and golden and thin, and the only think that really saved it was the fruity/hoppy aroma. I would say this beer lacked substance.

May 2, 2006 I thought this beer was great. Light in body and toward the more hoppy end of an APA. Quite citrusy and satisfying. Surprised it’s rated so low.

Apr 29, 2006 Updated: May 20, 2007Rerate: I wasn’t as impressed with this beer in the bottle compared to on tap. Bottle shared with HogTownHarry & biegaman -- courtesy of biegaman. Pours a cloudy yellow-orange with an average size diminishing white head. Decent aroma of pine & citrus hops with sweet malt backing it up. Slightly watery flavour, a little sugary, with citrus and pine hops. Light to medium bodied. Meh, it’s alright.
Original rating: 7.3.7.3.12: 3.3
On tap at Coles, Buffalo, NY. Pours a clear golden-orange with a spare diminishing white head. Slightly mild aroma is sweet and hoppy along with some fruit. Decent flavour, equally malty and hoppy also with some fruit added. Nice bitter finish. This went pretty well with food and is quite easy to drink. It’s a little underrated in my opinion.
Final rating lies halfway between both.

First impression is the sweet hoppy aroma brewing from the pint glass. Light amber color that keeps a thin head. Flavor is subtle with citrusy aftertones that really kick in with a peasant mixture of hops. Pretty good pale ale. Cheers!
Update: Bottle. Not sure what was going on here but this had way too much of an off bitterness. Very bland.
