| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Feb 7, 2009 Bottle at decaturstevo’s Februmergency Tasting for those of us that missed out on Sexual Chocolate ’09. Pours a clear light amber with small ring of offwhite head. Very fake chemical antiseptic nose with something like potpouri. Flavor is corn, and lots of hop bitterness which is not very well-balanced at all. Lots of hop spicyness on the finish. Didn’t really care for this at all naivepegasus (191), USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 15, 2009 Pours a dark orange with a thin soapy white head. Pa;e malt and some hops in the odor. A light fruit flavor with some apricot, and very light citrus. Not a lot of hops to the taste, if any. It’s a refreshing enough beer, I just don’t know why they’re calling it a "pale ale". unclemattie (2433), Georgia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jan 7, 2009 Batch #20. 12oz, twist-off, amber colored bottle. Dark green label. Pours clear, orange-amber color, white rocky head, good lace. light aroma of pale malt, very simple. Basic herbal hop nose. Flavor is fruity, fruit essence from the yeast, very earthy, and a very light presence of hop citrus. Very light bodied, although it does state on the label it is a South American style Pale Ale. As opposed to N. American. This is really a Simple Amber Ale. nuplastikk (1222), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 5, 2009 12oz bottle. Filtered golden tan color. Non offensive minimal aroma. Well carbonated, moderate spicy earthy hops, not so bitter. Rather thin and watery. Crisp and refreshing, a great session beer, but lacks some malt complexity. Gimcrack (4), Sydney, Australia does not count | 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 4, 2009 Wholesome meaty, yeasty aromas permeate the introduction. Pours a pale amber with a single finger head that dissipates quickly. Interesting traces of cured meats and smoke that continue with the first tasting. Unexpected. Pleasantly sweet and smooth with malt and floral aftertaste. The final mouthful leaves an appealing, cleansing residue. Enjoyable, but not an award-winning brew. Lowe1983 (1029), Fairborn, Ohio, USA

Aroma is pretty malty with caramel malts, very little hop aroma, and a slight smoked aroma. Flavor is pretty malty as well with lots of caramel malts and little hop flavor. No lingering flavor. nick76 (2684), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/20 | Dec 11, 2008 The aroma is sweet with grainy malt and hops. The appearance is light amber with a nice head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth. Overall I like it but dont love it. Palidor19 (1791), Brandon, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Dec 11, 2008 aroma is a bit back washed, but the mouth feel is nice deep sense of caramel malts but with a slight touch of corn. however the overall of the beer works quite well. I enjoy this one.
