| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 23, 2008 May 2007 - Beer pours pale orange with beautiful head which stayed a half an inch thick down to the bottom of the glass, tons of lacing...just beautiful. Otherwise, this is a pretty bland APA and a bit of a disappointment from one of my fav brewers. Just some some grapefruit, a touch of caramel and some musty flowers...but weak in all flavorful regards. yesyouam (602), Fairport, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 20, 2008 Bear Republic XP Pale Ale is a hazy light amber ale with a thick, foamy, off-white head. It has excellent retention and leaves thick doily lace on the glass. The aroma is a little muted and a little sweet, like caramel. The hops are bright, piny and citrusy. Was this dry hopped? There is an underlying scent of a damp field. It is medium-light in body and fizzy; thin but fluffy. The finish is crisp and maybe a touch astringent. It is lightly sweet from the smooth malt and a touch dusty. The flavor is mostly straight-forward West Coast hops. It has great balance. This would be appropriate as a session ale any time.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 14, 2008 22oz bottle. Took off the cap and foam was gushing out of this bottle like crazy. Hard to pour into glass each time got have a pint glass of foam, left some good lacing and some floating setiment on bottom of glass. Golden colored body and the ocean foam of head. Not much else here. Just standard beer some sweetness on the nose. Flavor was not over bitter and middle of the road. Mabe got a bad bottle.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 10, 2008 Bottled. Hazy copper, orange colour with small sediment that settled quickly. Big carbonation driving a foamy off-white head. Aroma: sweet, piney hops; lemon and orange peel. Surprisingly light taste for an IPA. Mostly sweet, no big hops but a little citrus. lordeche (397), Quincy, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 7, 2008 Pours hazy copper with beautiful fluffy white head. Beautiful complex floral aroma with big notes of dried fruit and strawberries. Flavor is also really fruity with big strawberry notes and some citrus hops. Sweet, but with enough hoppiness to cut through. A bit watery, however and the finish is too short. agl108 (509), Manayunk, Pennsylvania, USA
