Pours cloudy and golden with a whitish head. Aroma is surprisingly faint, spicy and hoppy. Flavor is better, somewhat hoppy with a hint of citrus. Very smooth, nicely carbonated. A good pale ale, but after the two hearted and hopslam ipa’s from bell’s I was hoping for a little more from this one.

Jul 10, 2008 citrusy hops on the nose, pours blonde colour with decent head. Carbonation noticeable but not bothersome. overall not a huge fan of pale ales as a class since they tend to lack flavour. This one, realatively speaking, isn’t so bad. Does have a decent aroma and some spicey, hoppiness in terms of flavour. Would try again but nothing to go crazy over. A decent brew.

Jul 9, 2008 Has a nice pale flavor but almost reminds me of a saison somehow. I seem to get some barnyard out of it. Pretty refreshing and tasty for a pale but I could drink alpha king every day.

Jul 8, 2008 Updated: Jul 9, 2008I like this beer, but not necessarily like other Bells. It seems a cross between an APA and a Wheat. I know it’s not a wheat beer, but it has the sharpness and the citrus/coriander flavors of a wheat. Not much aroma, slight head, but clean and refreshing.

Jul 7, 2008 Golden yellowish orange with mega floaties and an airy white head that laces like a pale ale should. Aroma of citrus hops, coriander and sweet malts. Taste of citrus and floral hops, grapefruit and mild caramel. Smooth and mildly sticky with a mild bitter finish. Decent APA.

Jul 5, 2008 Bottle. I liked this more than some others. Citrus hops aroma with a different malt which comes across almost like maple. Sweetness offset nicely by the bitter hops. Has an orange flavor to it. Refreshing.
