Bottle, World Market, Charlottesville. Dead lead amber/brown with half inch of off-white head. Tangy aroma, some sourness, light caramel. Flavor is light citrus and nuts. OK, but nothing new here.

Nov 10, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Deep orange color with a large, frothy, off-white head. Good head retention and spotty lacing.
Aroma: Citrus and spice on the hops side, a bit of caramel and bread from the malt.
Flavor: Decent bready maltiness with a solid citrus and floral hop backbone. A decent spicy finish.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-light mouthfeel and a medium, spicy finish.
Overall: Not a bad APA. It went well with the blue crabs I was eating. Take it or leave it.

Jun 26, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy orange caramel with a small white head. Aroma of tangy citrus, hops and caramel. Taste of tangy citrus, bread dough and hops...it is what it is...

May 4, 2009 Nice pale ale that has lots of caramel to it. Easily as much malt character in this one as the hops, and it really tastes more like a hoppy brown than a pale. Very nice though, pleasantly surprised.

May 1, 2009 Draft at BWI. Pours a dark amber with an off white head. Faint caramel and fruity ester aroma. Light bodied, approaching medium with a British mouthfeel. Malty flavor of caramel, toffee, maple, and nuts countered by a moderate, but balancing spicy bitterness. Very simple and balanced, and much better than the rating reflects. This is an enjoyable pale ale, but is really more in the British vein.

Apr 22, 2009 Bottle from a small but respects me shop in Baldwin,MD. Crystal clear reddish amber under a thin khaki head. Aroma of toasted malt and mild caramel. Flavor reminds me of a cross between an English Pale and a domestic Amber with a slightly metalic aftertaste. Strong malt profile but could use a healthier dose of hops. Short and dry finish. Not a bad beer but far from special.

Apr 19, 2009 Very nice amber pour. Sweet, grassy aroma with noticeable yeast. Pretty sweet and hoppy for a pale ale, with a touch of caramel and yeasty astringency. I wouldn’t mind washing down a crabcake with one of these.
