| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 28, 2009 Sampled on draft at the brewery and bottle with the staff at woody’s. Pours a clear golden amber with fair light tan head. Nose of floral cascade and fuggle hops. Flavor is extremely balanced between caramel malt and hops. Medium body with medium carbonation and a pleasant lightly bitter resin finish. I’m very proud of myself that I was able to give this the exact same score on draft and from the bottle almost a week apart. Most impressive of all their brews that I had. And a damn fine balanced pale ale! jkwalking05 (1485), Arlington, Texas, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 11, 2008 From a 12 ounce bottle - Pours an almost clear orange/red with very nice carbonation, and average lacing. Smells of sweet malts and some sticky hops. Possibly some oxidation beginning. First sip is surprisingly dull but balanced - just not enough flavor to go beyond mediocrity. A big disappointment
