| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 29, 2009 Pours mostly clear and amber with short lived whitish head. Smell is slightly yeasty and malty mostly. Taste is fairly balanced between biscuity malt, grassy hops and slighty bready yeast. I prefer a little cleaner, less yeasty beer, but not bad, and certainly drinkable.

had a distinct biscuity-pale-malt TsT1T2 but faded very quickly into a nicely-balanced citrus-hop T2T3Tf.
great with a burger or fish&chips.
the pale ale that finally convinced me that maybe the style isn’t all bad, and even made it my go-to style when i’m thirsty. Blom (514), Odense, Denmark
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 13, 2009 Brown-orange with a decent head. Floral aroma and a nice malty flavour to begin with, biscuit-like, before the bitternes sets in. hayduke (1677), Eureka, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 4, 2009 This 12 oz bottle was courtesy of Joe McPhee. Pours an attractive looking clear amber with a large foamy off-white head that left good lacing rings. Nose was malts with floral and grassy hops. Body is medium with average carbonation. Flavor is actually milder than the aroma would promise and was basically caramel malts and some light bitterness that carries over to the finish. This would make an excellent session brew.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 2, 2009 light copper pour with a diminishing head...nice balance between the malty body and the bitter finish...very sessionable Rustyham (597), miami, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 1, 2009 Really malty for such a light color. This has a fruity and chewy flavor and mouthfeel, and hardly any bitterness. I could down tons of this. Very Good. Bottle from Total Wine and More, Naples, Florida. WLG423 (82), Connecticut, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Nov 30, 2009 Beer pours out a with a redish amber hue and a light fluffy off white head that quickly shrinks down to almost nothing. The aroma is sweet and slightly fruity with a light toasty smell from the malt. Overall, the aroma is light and pleasant. The body is light with very little carbonation and a slick mouth feel. A slightly bitter flavor with light notes of hops though it is rather lacking in a longevity. The brew looks nice but has almost no body or substance, quickly diminishing into a watery rather bland beer. mar (1972), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 22, 2009 Deep amber with a thin cream head. Nose is bready malts and caramel. Nice on the palate with a big bready malt flavor and a caramel/nut finish.
