Jun 9, 2007 Not as "full malt flavor" as advetised but an average APA. Drinkable yes, but not very noteworthy. I had it on draft, and that did create a nice pour and a slightly fruity nose. The malt shows up, but it is lacking.

May 31, 2007 Great aroma and a head on which you could float a spoon. I was expecting something more than the mouthfull of sweet that finished fruity and little hop character at all. Not bad, but not a great pale ale.

Apr 5, 2007 Not bad, balanced hoppiness/maltiness. Slightly citrus with an herban & grassy nose. Not a great beer, but since it’s available at my local store in growlers on the cheap, I can’t complain much. I would put this above, say Peak Organic P.A., but below something like Sierra Nevada.

Good beer.

Feb 17, 2007 A nice easy-drinking pale ale. Niice balance of hops and malt. An amber-like pour. I liked it and would drink again...nothing amazing, but very drinkable.

Feb 12, 2007 On tap at some place in Boston. Malty, balanced. Bready, light hops, unexciting.

Nov 15, 2006 Really tastes like corn. I don’t know how they got major adjunct flavor into a micro brewed pale ale, but they managed. Thin on the malt side and weak on the hop side. Really no hop character to speak of. Maybe slightly spicy. Palate is a little creamy. Really a crappy beer. Serious disappointment from a brewery I usually like.

Nov 2, 2006 Andy brought this over in a growler for us to try on September 4th, and we’re glad he did. From the growler, it pours a light golden color into a hazy body, with a large, fizzy white head. A mostly diminishing head and no lacing are what we have come to expect from growler beer, although that does not detract from an excellent presentation. Aroma is of light lemony hops with a moderate hint of doughy yeast. This one bursts with flavor, with a light sweet initial taste that blossoms into a robust sweet finish with hints of mango, and a slight touch of bitter. Light to medium on the mouth, it leaves a creamy feel behind with lively carbonation and a fruity taste. A well-balanced beer.
