Commercial Description:
A wonderfully balanced true pale ale. Cascade, Tomahawk, and Amarillo hops create a citrusy aroma with a smooth, crisp finish. A subdued malt character nicely complements the hop complexity and produces an orangey amber hue. <br /> Formerly JW Dundee’s American Pale Ale <br /> 35 IBU

Brought back by the Wife from her wild travels to Lake Placid and beyond. Pours a beautiful shadow-ridden amberwitha tdistinct white headthat is powered byu steady carbonation. Floral hop nose. Honey sweet body is tingling with moderate hops but still remains easy drinking. Legs are o\pinpoints finish is very fruity with mellow hops at tip and edges of tounge. an enjoyable brew out of a surprise sample pack.

Bottle.A clear orange-tangerine color with about an inch of head,some nice lacing is left on the glass.The aroma is very balanced between sweet biscuity malt and citrus floral hops. Tangerines and apricots. The hops smell british and very floral.Flavor follows the nose. Sweet citrus and some grapefruit coming through. Balanced and pleasant with a biscut backbone.Medium-light bodied with gentle carbonation and a slightly dry finish. Leaves a slight hop after taste. Very drinkable.

&#40;Bottle, part of a Dundee "Craft Pack", from Lou’s Beverage Barn&#41; Bland...Pours very clear bronze-amber with a couple of fingers of off-white head that recede to a thin, uneven layer. Looks pretty much like their IPA. Weak aroma of vanilla and bread. Mouthfeel rather prickly but passable. Light foamy sheets and rings of lacing. Flavor is rather muted and probably has been filtered out. Some light bready and papery maltiness, maybe a weak hint of caramel, but overall quite weak on flavor

12oz bottle, from a sampler, much to the dismay of me, i think this was older than anticipated because there was almost no hops left, just a boring ho hum beer.

Bottle. Pours copper, with off white head. Smells hoppy, citrusy, and floral. Tastes sweet and bitter. Thin body and and very little aftertaste.

Bottle. Poured a clear amber with a three finger white head. Aroma of citrus. Flavor was very bland and the body was thin.
