Feb 4, 2007 bottle - Pours copper with a big fluffy head and a pretty good hop aroma. The flavor seems lacking though with flat, rather off tasting hops joined by mild malts in an overly thin brew. A dry finish ends this so-so offering from Barley Island.

Nov 13, 2006 Pint at BI - I haven’t had this in the past and Jeff Eaton (owner of BI) said they have been "tweaking" the recipe. Aroma is crisp citrus hops, pine and earthy carmel malts. Pours hazy orange/brown with a medium head and good lacing. Flavor is initially a citrus hop zing that quickly fades to a chalky maltiness. Palate is rather thin for such aroma and flavor. I say keep tweaking until you can make it finish as well as the IPA and you will have a great APA. Certianly worthwhile as is.

Oct 18, 2006 Bottle. Lemon, orange, grapefruit in the sweet nose. Opaque cloudy amber body with strong carbonation and a tall, creamy, lacy beige head. Lots and lots of sediment in the bottle. Lightly hoppy. Rubbery bitterness to start is grainy bitterness in the aftertaste. Moderately sweet and bitter, this is the Mild of PAs, and about as good as a Pride & Joy. Watery citrus the main flavor, light-bodied. Nice and easy session beer.

Sep 30, 2006 Pours copper with lots of carbonation and a large creamy head. Aroma has caramel malts with some spicy / citrus hops. Medium body with a nice amount of sharp carbonation. Taste has some caramel, but it is mainly spicy hops. The finish has even more of the spicy hops and comes across as prickly with the hops and carbonation mix. A good pale ale.

Sep 1, 2006 Thanks to Hippie4beer. 12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy light copper and a cool lasting thick fluffy head. Aroma is traditional citrus cascade-like hops with that cascade like harsh metallic hint. Flavor is a bit weak, some more citrus, light grassy hops, light caramel malt backbone. Clean light bitterness in the end. Pretty standard APA.
