An alright Pale Ale, pretty average. Had no disinguishing characteristics. Poured an amber with an off shite head, tasted of slight hops. Got this beer in my beer of the month club.

Poured a decent amber/orange with a thumbs width of off white head. The english style hops hit me first, followed by a lightly fruity lightly bitter finnish.... This was a beer of the month club selection for january 2007.

Pours a deep hazy amber with a one finger head. No lcaing to speak of. Smells of biscuity malt and cirtusy hops. Flavor is dominated by the English-style hops and a funky, fruity and biscuity malt flavor. The flavors don’t mesh well at all. This was tough to get through. Not a good pale ale at all.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with beerhandy (thanks!). Found this one in the back of the frige. Poured a deep orange color with an averaged sized off white head. Muted aromas of caramel and toasted malts. Tastes of caramel, toasted malts and light citrus.

Draft at music city brewers festival. Pours amber with thin off white head. Aroma of carmelized sugar, bread, and faint fruity hops. Medium thin texture (more on the thin side). Flavor of honey and caramel offset by herbal hops. Bitter finish with some fruitiness coming out.

Hazy light copper colored liquid witha thick beige foam. Nose is sweet with the mildly acrid scent of hops. Mild hop taste with a good amount of good bitterness resolving into a nice bitter finish. Body is nondescript.
