Aug 4, 2009 A really nice pale ale. Poured a rich amber hue with a short but thick head. Nice hoppy and sweet-smelling head. The taste was also quite sweet, much sweeter than any pale ale I’ve ever tried. It was really, really good. Incredibly smooth and delicious.

Jul 26, 2009 Pours a reddish copper with moderate, airy white head. Aroma has more malt than I’m used to with a pale ale, but I like it. Same with the flavor: malt, hops, citrus, and caramel. The bitterness is definitely present but not punch-you-in-the-face strong. Pleasing.

Jul 14, 2009 On tap at Ginger Man in CT. Full of hops and fruitiness. Dark golden pour with a small head. Outstanding!

May 20, 2009 On tap. Pours a fairly deep amber for a pale ale with an off white, frothy head that leaves some okay lacing. Aroma of toffee, caramel, piney hops, bitter nuts. Taste is citrus and resiny hops but this is overpowered slightly by the toffee and caramel giving this beer an almost maple syrup, sweet body rather than a typical hoppy, citrusy pale ale. Closer to an IPA than pale ale. But I think there is a bit too much malt backing on this one.

May 9, 2009 On tap at the brewery on Castleton release day 2008: Pours a transparent deep copper amber with a spotty-lacing froth of off-white head. Aroma of toasty caramel malt and some piny resiny grapefruity hops. Body starts with good carbonation and fullness for the style with a light pale malty sweetness and good crisp bittering and flavor hop balance. A nice APA.

Apr 29, 2009 Bottle. An all around solid pale ale. Copper amber in color, frothy white head, sweet citrusy nose, strong hop character with a smooth malty finish. Perfect beer for the cooler spring nights.
