Jan 20, 2005 Updated: Jan 15, 2006Lots of bubbles climb the glass to form a gentle white cover atop the shining hazy golden body. Aroma is rather straightforward and citric, tart with pine, lemon and fresh C-hops. Alright malt backbone, lemon pie and biscuity. Clean altogether and tarter than most which contributes to refreshment. Dry lasting hoppy finish. Light body with bubbles not as apparent as expected. Fine basic beer.

Jan 12, 2005 bottled: poured nicely with light caramel color slight haze and a dense turned choppy head-laced. instant nose of fresh biscuit and wetness. turned lightly citrus as the beer sat. flavors where on the same wavelength. fresh hay citrus flavors with a toasted malt backbone. reminded me of a good british cask beer. easy to drink and quaff. solid every day beer.

Jan 3, 2005 Clear straw-colored body, huge off-white pillowy head. Appealing aroma of biscuit, caramels and spicy, earthy, floral hops. Light, biscuity malt body with plenty of spicy, earthy hops and hints of pine, finishing slightly sour, perhaps an indication this is getting on in months. This bottle came from Joe’s (marinaro500) mountain of beer...I hope it hasn’t tipped over and trapped him, although being buried under hundreds of amazing beers wouldn’t be the worst way to go.

Dec 30, 2004 Fruity nose with some floral qualities, cloudy pale orange color with a sticky fomay head. Thinnish gritty malt body. Some citrus and a slightly grassy finish. OK brew, but not as good as other Alesmiths.

Dec 27, 2004 Brilliant golden with fluffy head. Tart lemony citrus aroma, some orange rind as well. Supple malt (especially for a beer this pale, how’d they do that?) is very nice. Hops flavor is more orange rind and lemons. A bit gassy, really my only criticism, as this one’s a real winner

Dec 12, 2004 Bottle. Pours a light golden color, nice white head. Pleasant gentle hop aroma. Very smooth, probably from bottle conditioning, a bit of sweet maltiness though the ample hop flavor balances it out. Hops come through in the finish, as does some lemon peel flavor. Overall very crisp and drinkable, a better version of BBC Steel Rail, the most important beer of my college days.

Dec 8, 2004 Updated: Feb 27, 2005Hazy, almost hefeweizen-like color. Light mouthfeel with very light carbonation. Silky smooth taste is counterbalanced by the sourness of lemon and grass, along with a little bit of hop bitterness. I’d prefer this to be a little stronger, but it’s certainly one of the best PAs I’ve tried. A great session beer.
