May 21, 2005 Good looking orange/gold, firm white head lasts very well...nice lacework too! Big fruity (grapefruit??) nose, well hopped! Caramel/malty aromas add to the overall balance. Good medium bodied palate, citrus hops and well balanced sweet malt burst onto the tongue, and fade slowly. A smooth rounded brew, fine stuff, we’ll have to see if S&N maintain the quality of this and the other Caledonian beers.

Apr 7, 2002 First waft seemed almost skunky, but odor disipated quickly. Looks beautiful, rich yellow pushing into amber (Davefromchicago, you did not drink the Golden Promise). Hits you almost like a pils, but the hops, and a bready quality let you know otherwise (had some choice cask homebrews recently that were very similar). Not overly bitter, well balanced, still, its lacking distinctive character. Wouldn’t turn it down, and worth trying.

Feb 11, 2002 delicious, silky stuff that gets better with each sip. it’s a very bright yellow, with not much carbonation or head, but decent lacing. flavours are like a pilsener/ale hybrid: the buttery, honeyed sweetness of the very pale malt reminds me a lot of a good german pils, while a hint of liquorice and grapefruit in the finish mingles well with the firm hop bite. not the most arrestingly flavourful beer you’ll ever have, but distinctive and refreshing nonetheless.

Mar 29, 2004 pours with a full, frothy head. red/straw color, very clear. aroma=light malt, pretty estery, heavy on the floral/fruity side but balanced nicely with some piercing spice. palate = fuller than i expected. taste = tight bitterness, like an esb, slowly rounded by malt traces, which is given body by compote like fruitiness. all said a very well balanced and fairly complex pale ale.

May 25, 2001 A well made beer, to be sure. I had no real complaints about it, but I would rather have had a Pete’s Wicked.

May 7, 2002 Yellow color, almost no head. Mild flavor and slight bitterness. Really good for a lighter beer.
