scraff (1921), Baltimore, Maryland, USA May 23, 2009 Draft - Clear gold, thin white creamy head. Soft fresh pine and grapefruit aromas ride undertones of sweet malt throughout. Earthed pine and citric hop flavors balance well on a light caramel backbone. Light to medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry bitter finish. A well constructed pale ale... willblake (2160), Belcamp, Maryland, USA Dec 7, 2008 20080613 Tap at brewpub. Hoppy and astringent. Floral, light citrus, pretty bland. Eh, it is okay. pineypower (1076), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA Jun 14, 2008 Tap at brewpub. Pours out a light copper color with a moderate creamy slightly off white head. Aroma of citrus hops and some slight malt sweetness. Taste is of some citrus hops, some sweet malts and a dry finish. hopdog (5534), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 14, 2008 On tap at the Bethlehem location. Poured a medium amberish color with a medium sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, caramel, toasted malts, and pine. Tastes of citrus (more than the aromas), pine, and some caramel. dmac (1420), Toms River, New Jersey, USA Jun 14, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Well out of my six beer sampler, which was very reasonably priced for the size samples you get, this one was the best by far. Pours a mostly clear amber brown with an average size fluffy white head that lasted for quite sometime as my pint sat there and I finsihed off some other sample size beers. Aroma has lots of grapefruit and citrus with some biscuit notes from the malts. Palate is medium bodied with lively carbonation and a slightly dry finsih. Flavor of citrus rind that is rather bitter with some biscuit and toast. This beer is just slightly dry and comes off with a good touch of bitterness but still enjoyable none the less. TomDecapolis (3130), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 13, 2008 On tap at BBW. Pours a translucent golden amber with a medium creamy off white head. Aroma of caramel malt, pine, floral and bread along with other citrus notes. Flavor of caramel malt, bready, pine, grapefruit, floral and orange. Nejhleader (924), Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 2, 2008 I thought this was a nice pale ale. had a nice surprising hop presence to it, the amarillo seem to give it a good light citrus element. nice body, good overall. jason (1620), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA May 31, 2008 Draft. Nice deep red body with thin head. Aroma was a very pleasant blend of grapefruit and hops. Flavor was lightly hoppy with a nice sweet malt taste and a very smooth body. Possibly the best Pale Ale I’ve ever had!
