Jan 22, 2005 Light orange appearance with a small white head. Scents of earthy hops in the nose. Very balanced beer with enough hop flavor and bitterness to satisfy. Easy to drink.

Dec 21, 2004 very pale in appearance. minimal taste, could have been smoother and hoppier. what taste was present seemed to clash with each other rather than blend into a nice beer like some other pales.

Nov 26, 2004 I’m a tad shocked at the low average score for this. This pale ale was surprisingly good, expecially for a Huber beer. Nice piney, citrisy hop nose. Hop bitterness is not overwhelming, yet slightly piney and sticky. It is by no means robust, but is a rather solid example of the style, albeit a tad thin on the palate.

Nov 21, 2004 Light amber color with very little carbonation and no head. Lager like aroma with some hoppyness in the background. Watery mouthfeel. Ample hop bitterness but not real sure what hops are in the flavor. Kind of like accidentaly tasting some hairspray. Goes down easy like the other Berghoff beers. Right for the price.

Nov 9, 2004 No head, clear amber. hoppy nose, with some bready malts in the back. Thin on the tongue. Taste is very uncomplex, but the beer itself is drinkable, not really offensive, but not really good either. Very middle of the road, but cheap.

Nov 8, 2004 head to head with Schell Pale ale
nice dark golden color, no head worth mentioning, Aroma is of slight hops and led me to underestimate the hoppiness in store for me in the flavor. Way too hoppy flavor, kind of a syrupy sort of beer, reminded me of Mojo in its overpowering piney hops flavor. Kind find it hard to drink, but this is not really my style

Sep 29, 2004 Decent, I like this beer because it was good with penuts. The taste was simple and a bit watered down but the aroma was very strong. hard to tell

Sep 21, 2004 Regarding Falconseye’s comments about the packaging, Berghoff has all new packaging and labels. This pale ale is to style, but a little on the thin side. It is nicely balnced but watery overall. If you need to get a friend into better beer this is a great stepping stone!
