May 9, 2005 Orange hue with a gentle off-white ring. Fresh and crisp aroma boasts plenty of caramel malt developing a nice toffee and cookies side to pair with the rich hop profile, orangey and earthy, yet bright and vibrant. Surprising salty notes complement the vegetal, algae-like, earthy, herbal and globally natural flavour components. Pleasant oily medium body presents crisp carbonation that match well with the zesty hopppiness. Good stuff! Thanks a lot Hopscotch!

Mar 23, 2005 Bottle: Cookie and light hop aroma. Pours a transparent amber with a nice off-white head with good retention. Malty up front with a good amount of caramel. Finishes bitter and then the caramel sneaks back into the aftertaste. Well balanced APA.

Mar 19, 2005 Pours a light filtered amber with a small loosly bubbly head. Aroma of caramel and huge amounts of diacetyl with a soft earthy hoppiness. Ranks right up there with Samuel Smiths in terms of diacetyl. Flavor is butter cookie with a caramely maltiness and some grassy hops. Quick, very dry finish with a very hard, alkaline, harsh bitterness. Nothing great but interesting to try an American Pale mede in such a very English style. Ringwood yeast?

Mar 9, 2005 A mate brought this fine American Pale Ale back from a trip to Washington - thanks Gordo. Bronze colour, short tan head. Aroma has classic grapefruity hops, Juicy Fruit chewing gum and toffee characters. Smooth bodied and warming, with a tart, dry finish. Rich, raisiny middle, with some caramel. Very good indeed.

Feb 27, 2005 Nothing to write home about. Just above a waste of $3.50. Basic pale ale. Looked pretty good but not much there.

Feb 23, 2005 I can mention the pale amber body blah blah blah but I won’t. This is a solid pale ale perfectly balanced, with a unique hop profile. A wonderfully pleasant beer to drink.
