| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 12, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Malty smell predominates immediately after pour. Light copper color w/ a think white head that dissipates quickly. Certainly more malty w/ a touch of caramel. Expected more hoppy bitterness. Light to medium bodied, finishes a little dry and toasty. lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 14, 2009 Bottle in trade from kiefdog. Thanks for this extra, man! Pours a nice amber color with short lived beige head. Smell is tart maltiness, light fruitiness and a touch of dough and hops. Taste is a touch hoppier with a pleasant bitterness, slight sweet finish and a bit of yeast flavor as well. Perfectly drinkable and a decent pale ale. Thanks again!

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 20, 2009 At brewpub. Clear red with slight tan head and scattered lacing. Sweet caramel aroma. Diacetyl is integrated well like in an English-style pale ale. Decent flavors, but a bit too sweet. Some dark sugars. Fruity and not hoppy. Decent, drinkable and sweet pale ale. daknole (3025), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jan 23, 2009 Bottle from Orlando Total Wine...not that great. Golden pour, white head. Aroma is faint at best with some subdued malts and weak hops. Flavor is about the same. I actually think this is overrated on RB. jgb9348 (2515), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 20, 2009 Bright copper/ruby coloured body with a super-thin white head. Aroma of light hops (pretty good at ~3 years old), fresh wheat and some citrus and coriander seed. Light-bodied; Sharp tastes of malt and light hops. Tastes of citrus and lemon also noticeable. Aftertaste very clean - some hops, some citrus and little else. Overall, pretty good for being almost 3 years old - still showing hops and citrus qualities. A nice APA for being old - definitely good to try. Many thanks to MattA for this trade way back when! I sampled this 16 ounce bottle given to me in a trade with MattA on 28-May-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
