Finhead (56), Illinois, USA Oct 12, 2009 Hazy orange color with small, long-lasting white head. It has a nice grapefruit aroma. Has a light-medium body with dry texture. The flavor is consistant with the aroma, citrus hops with a bitter grapefruit finish. omhper (12155), Stockholm, Sweden Sep 12, 2009 Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Lightly hazy pale amber, rich head. Lovely aroma of ripe mango and lychees. Fairly sweet with light-medium body and soft mouthfeel. Gentle honey atop light grainy malt seemlessly covered by lychee-like hops. The bitterness keeps creeping on, but ever gets aggressive. Perfectly balancedm unusually soft APA. brenn79 (140), Idaho, USA Sep 7, 2009 12 oz. bottle- FIRST DRINK- Mellow, light, traditional pale ale, decent. LAST DRINK- Same as the the first drink, decent. poisoneddwarf (153), Rathdrum, Idaho, USA Sep 6, 2009 12 oz bottle. Smells of pine and nice pot resin. This is an average pale ale. There’s nothing unique here. It’s drinkable, nothing more. SaintMatty (1197), Tallinn, Estonia Sep 2, 2009 Bottle (GBBF 2009) - Amber with a slight haze. Slightly fruity aroma with hints of grapefruit, peach and gas. Bitter, hoppy and slightly soapy taste with a finish featuring grapefruit. Pleasant to drink. Headbanger (1574), Aurora, Illinois, USA Sep 1, 2009 12oz bottle 9/1/09 (Binny’s Naperville)-Pours a orangish gold with a small white head. Aroma of citrus hops, citrus, caramel, and some malt. Taste of the same with some dryness and bitterness. This medium bodied Pale was not bad but nothing to write home about. tmoreau (527), Lombard, Illinois, USA Sep 1, 2009 Sampled at an outdoor beer tasting sponsored by Doti Liquors, Elmhurst, IL. Poured to my fest/wine glass from a 12 oz. bottle, a light, orange/gold, with a decent, white foam to the head and fair lacing. The aroma was light fruit, a touch of citrus, bready malt, and a hint of caramel. Ditto on the flavor with some fair hop bitterness present. A light, English Bitter under the guise of an American Pale. puggy211 (576), cordova, Tennessee, USA Aug 30, 2009 Bottle. Neutral fruits, a bit of apricot nectar. Medium sweetness and mild fresh hops. Hazy medium orange amber with thin head. Medium water body with medium-heavy carbonation. Starts with carbonic acidity, light neutral fruit sweetness and light fresh hops flavor. Dull papery end with light bitterness. Fairly clean after. Decent ale but nothing special
