Aug 6, 2007 On tap at an upper west side NYC bar. Nice pale ale with plenty of sweet malt to balance out the hops. If I lived in New YHork I would be purchasing CL all the time. Having said that I’m quite happy to have Surly.

Aug 1, 2007 Draft @ HDG. A very well balanced pale ale. Nice and hoppy with the right mix of grains to balance it out. Can this guy brew, or what?

Jul 29, 2007 Clear amber. Aroma is like the IIPA with pine, citrus, grapefruit and a typical caramel backing. Medium bodied, lightly bitter finish. For an APA this was great.

Jun 25, 2007 Updated: Feb 2, 2008After a long car ride up to the brewery this was the first beer I tried - Nice golden amber with a refreshing aroma of light pine and citrus plus malty sweetness. Taste had a smooth malt backing to go with a pleasant hop flavor of citrus, grass, and pine. Everything an APA should be.

May 8, 2007 On tap at the brewery. Pours a moslty clear light gold with a fluffy shiny white head and good retentiion- some lace as well. Citrusy and orange hints, with some light pine, grass, and light metallicy cascade aroma. Lightly bready malt profile with a nice light pine and citrus hop character and a clean pleasant bitterness. Easy drinking well made APA.

Apr 30, 2007 My Bottom Line:
The spicy, fruity hoppiness of this American Pale Ale is intricately linked to the malt’s cereal sweetness which whips up a lusciously smooth body.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-Some lacing is drawn atop the clear copper hues.
-The herbal, wooden hop notes complexity to the hop profile.
-Maltiness offers few flavors, but that body sustains ever so well.
-The lenient bitterness can still be trusted to actively participate in the overall very drinkable experience.
On tap at Tap NY.
