Dorwart (1807), Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA May 20, 2005 Large white head of small bubbles. Great carbonation and excellent head retention. Excellent citrus hoppy aroma with plenty of mandarin oranges, lemons and pears. Could sit here and smell it all day. Color is a medium golden orange. Sour bitterness up front and some rice crispies later on. Little grainy and thin. Crisp finish with a litle dryness that is short lived. An ok pale ale that starts off great and finishes poorly. rudolf (1734), Buffalo, New York, USA May 18, 2005 Clear gold, thin head. Light N. American nose. Strong bitterness up front, slightly grainy caramel finish. Sammy (3934), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 15, 2005 Floral and grapefruit aroma.Hazy yellow and hop bubbles. Nice bitter lemony citrus dryness. Malt and caramel and herbal flavour there for balance. tsarman (794), Northern, New Jersey, USA May 13, 2005 I don’t know why this is so lowly rated. Its not the best beer in the world, but it should be around a 3 at least. Nice amount of carbonation and a nice floral hoppiness. Light on hops and color, a little too light, even for a pale ale. Otherwise, an easy to drink beer that went well my pork in white wine dinner. hopscotch (5441), Vero Beach, Florida, USA May 2, 2005 Bottle... Crystal clear golden ale with a large, frothy, white head. Great retention. Wispy, cumulus lacework. Yeasty, floral aroma with notes of biscuit and butterscotch. Perfectly balanced flavor, but almost entirely nondescript except for an earthy, herbal taste. Medium-bodied and a little oily with lively carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish. Not offensive, but not at all special either. Falconseye8 (525), Cartersville, Georgia, USA May 1, 2005 Grapefruity and hoppy, Yards Philly Pale Ale is a pretty solid APA. I’ve had better, but this is very good. Very nice start for this brand. mcdrunk55 (2), Woodbury Hts., New Jersey, USA does not count Apr 1, 2005 This is my go to beer. It is light and hoppy with a little bit of fruitiness. The alcohol is low 4.2 and the hops are not overwhelming but this beer is perfect on a warm day. swirl (267), collingswood, New Jersey, USA Mar 26, 2005 This golden colored pale ale looks great in the glass creating a thick full head that develops into a light lace that lasts until the end. The hops make their presence known both in the taste and aroma. A very good beer that deserves more respect in the South Jersey area than it gets.
