Commercial Description:
This amber colored beer is our interpretation of the classic British Pale Ale originating in Burton-Upon-Trent, England. Three varieties of American grown hops create a pleasing bitterness, aroma and lingering hop taste. Our Pale Ale's medium-light body and clean taste make it an excellent accompaniment to a fine meal or a satisfying drink all by itself.

12 oz bottle from Wlikie- Thanks Chris. Pours a veyr light coppery gold with a very low carbonation and a thin filmy head. Aroma is toasty warm biscuit malts, light caramel and a nice floral hop profile. Flavor is floral hops, light fruity esters, toast, and light toffee. Clean lightly bitter finish. Ok.

Bottle. Pours clear yellow, a little darker than a Bud Light with a medium sized soapy head. It looked like the kind of beer that would go flat after a few minutes, but the head settled and lasted. Thin grainy nose. Flavor is more malty and sour than bitter, while the bitterness comes in for the finish. A little off balance, not great, but pretty easy to drink and moderately hopped for a session beer.

12 oz bottle: Pours a surprising rich amber color with a creamy head and nice lacing. A malty and hoppy aroma with hints of caramel and brown sugar. Somewhat of a watered down pale ale taste. However, there is a subtle hoppy finish. Not the best pale ale I’ve had, but a good one nonetheless.

Good beer, however nothing great about it. Pours golden with little head. Good pale taste. Good crisp finish.

Smells like a typical pale ale, and has the tart taste of a pale ale. Otherwise nothing really notable, though this is the most widely distributed Carolina Brewing Company variety.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a golden amber with a thin off-white head. Weak, hoppy malt aroma. A processed, hoppy flavor with a crisp finish. Not the best pale ale but refreshing and easy to drink.

On tap at some chain restaurant in Durham. Pours a clear orange-amber with a small, fluffy, white head. Light hoppy-malt aroma. Taste is sharp, of hops and malt, a bit yeasty. Lingering sharpness. Drinkable, but forgettable.

Slightly hazy golden coloured amber body with a thinnish light tan head. Aroma of fresh hops, caramel, nuts and a bit of sugar - pretty nice, mostly nutty though - so the EPA shows through. Medium-bodied; Strong caramel flavour tucked in with the english low a.a. hops and a nice rounded out maltiness. Aftertaste shows sweetness and the hops bittering at the end. Overall, a nice beer - definitely an EPA, but not an amazing choice. It went well and was a good base for Fish & Chips, but I wouldn’t buy a six pack of this! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Durham, North Carolina on 31-August-2008, at home in Washington on 21-October-2008.
