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. jason (1621), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA

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. dp (512), uniontown, Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 2, 2006 some hops in aroma, malt flavor aftertaste, light and easy, hint of bitterness/citrus at the end, very pleasant seal614 (9), Philly, USA does not count | 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 29, 2006 Direct from the brewery. At first I was skeptical, but after a few tasting sessions it has grown on me like you can’t imagine. Citrus flavor, higher carbonation but works well. Only slightly bitter, but well balanced and a tribute to the city of philadelphia. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA

Aroma of sweet malts, citrus, and slight fruit. Flavor is carbonated, slight hoppy bitter, citrusy, sweet, malty, and that is all good , but there is also a metallic finish that isn’t real pleasant. Good body, decent brew. beachbum25 (783), Powellville, Maryland, USA
| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 4/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Mar 17, 2006 12 oz bottle. Poured a nice golden color w/a meduim white head. Too bad it didn’t taste as good as it looked. Very bland, no real hops, malts, nothing. Maybe a somewhat citrus flavor, but just not enough to make it worth the effort.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Mar 12, 2006 Pours gold with considerably effervescence, and a slight head that dissipates quickly leaving a little bit of lacing. Aromas are of honey, malt, floral hops and maybe lemon. Flavor is a bit underpowered. Sharp and crisp with lemon and hops coming through strong, but it is like there is not enough of a malt presence to make it work, and it just comes off as really weak.
