Another boring pale ale from the beer of the month club. 12. Bottle. It pours clear light amber with some head and no lacing. Malt, grassy hop and earth in the nose. Earthy and grassy flavor hop flavor with some malt in the background. A little thin in body but an okay beer.

Pours a lightly-effervescent transparent copper orange with a frothy, clingy off-white head. Mildly grainy, buttery, and sweet aroma has a touch of oxidation and a hint of English hops. Body starts with some mild earthy sweetness with a touch of bitterness toward a thinner dull finish. Doesn’t really have any off or unpleasant flavors, just pretty uninteresting.

12oz bottle acquired in trade. Poured a medium and a slightly hazy amber color with a huge (4.5 finger) sized off white frothy head. Aromas of caramel, pine and a little fruity. Tastes of caramel, very light pine, and some citrus. Somewhat of a lively body (as also evident with the huge head).

Poured an effervescent light amber with a small fizzy off-white head. Aroma of some pine hops, some lemon, but of floor cleaner. Taste has a nice bitter pine hop bit with some acidity to it, with a dry toffee finish. Sort of bland and average but nothing too overtly disagreeable about it.

Bottle from trade with jjpm74. Thanks John! Bottling number 6.238 (I think? Definitely something .238 but looked like a 6). Poured an amber color with an off white head that fully dissipated. Sweet malts and fruits in the aroma. The flavor also had sweet malts, maybe caramel, and a hoppy ending. Medium body and easy drinking.

Bottle on locals trade from jjpm74.<P>Pours amber with a thin white head. Aroma is a touch sweet. Flavor is a touch piney bitter. Palate is, well, average for a pale ale.

Average all around -- description says ESB, but not bitter/hoppy enough for that, it’s more of an EPA/IPA of the Greene King variety, relatively tasteless yet drinkable and some body. Only nice part was the quite pleasant malt aftertaste. Bottle

Pours copper colored with minimal head and lacing. Aroma is mildly sweet with English hops in the nose. Flavor and palate are a little watered down. I wouldn’t have given it a 3 if the Dawgs hadn’t been whippinn’ LSU as we speak, therefore my rating is a little skewed.
