| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 24, 2007 Draught. Pours gold with well-lacing white head. The aroma is grapefruit and lemon and some sugary pine. The flavor is grapefruit at first, then moves toward pine. Gets bread and bark tones, too, especially toward finish.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 5, 2007 Poured a semi-substantial pale amber. Not exactly clear but not super viscous. The head was frothy, white, and medium. the aroma was a tad fruity, hops are evident, some sweetness, a bit lacking but solid. The flavor was semi-bitter, a tad waxy, dry, a good balance but also a bit lacking. The palate and finish were also mediocre. Braudog (3783), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 6, 2007 This rating from the bottle, although I had several pints of this on tap while in Raleigh, definitely the best available in the hotel bar! Right down the pipe for a pale ale, I’d put this more in the American vein than English ... light in its amber hue, limited in it’s carbonation, and little head. But it’s got a decent hoppy citursy character, definitely quaffable, and a quality session brew. (#2844, 5/6/2007) 505 (271), Echo Park, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 8, 2007 Crisp aroma, light citrus, with some piney hops. Pours pale with a short lasting head. Flavor is nice, sarts off malty, then has a fresh citrus midddle and a bitter finish. Somewhat thing bodied. Great beer to have with mexican food (which I’m about to eat). benclarkiii (73), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 1, 2007 12 oz. bottle via trade with TURDFERGUSON - Pours a clear orangish color with a 1/2 finger thick white head. Has a light grassy, herbal hop aroma. Has a sligtly sour bitterness to the flavor. Thin palate. Light to medium body. Not the best beer. Thanks Sam. NachlamSie (1657), Tennessee, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 5, 2007 Bottle. Pours a slightly dark gold hue with a small white head. The nose is a little unclean with hints of skunk and hay. A bit of caramel and papery hops are noted too. The mouthfeel is thin, but not overly so. Some simple barley notes and generic sweetness make up the flavor. A dash of wooden hop flavor. This is a basic introductory brew.
