Mar 9, 2008 Not bad for a pale ale. I don’t expect much from this genre of beer, but this one had some good qualities. Smooth on the palate with a nice malty finish. Great beer for a summer day.

Feb 23, 2008 Not hoppy at all like other west coast style pale ales, but a decent flavor. Would be a great first beer after work on a hot summer day.

Feb 22, 2008 got from my wife for my birthday, from ball on the wall.
pours a clear yellow with an orange tint, good size white head, some lacing.
smell is earthy, grass, touch of caramel, some nuttiness, some malts in the back.
taste kinda like a lager, a bit on the flat side, touch of caramel, some nuts, some sour malts.

Feb 20, 2008 gold-straw body with typical white head; although there is a faint yeast and egg quality, there is an element of it being clean or oddly something... and with notes of honey and lemon; not bad, a bit thick in the mouth--and not what i want from a pale ale--but a decent brew anyway.

Feb 17, 2008 12-oz. Definitely not a shining moment for NC, though they have so many of those that this can certainly be overlooked. Pours brilliant crystal clear burnished coppery medium amber with a thick, sudsy white head. Plenty of lace. Sourish wet straw aroma. Lightish medium body with soft carb. Straw, caramel, and a bit of honey on the mid-palate. Virtually no hop presence. More of EPA than an APA, if that helps picture it. Slightly (malt-)sugary finish.

Feb 16, 2008 Bottle from TJ’s in Fairfield. This brew is different from other offerings from North Coast in that it’s not as strong. Surprisingly, this one was probably the smoothest Pale Ale I’ve ever had. Of course, I’m thinking that’s not what people have come to expect from them. Anyway, some of the taste was compromised in this one, but I really liked it for the genre. Again, it was a departure from the norm.

Feb 5, 2008 Ok so I purchased this beer and then read the reviews. In a way, I am kind of glad I did. This beer definately wasn’t was I was expecting. Its not that clean tasting as a lot of the taste is metallic. Its got kind of a downhome rustic taste to it, something that is kind of glamorus earthy mouth feel. The only problem is this beer is 10 bucks for a 6 pack, and there are a long list of other contenders that would put this away in one shot.
