Light, crisp blonde with a nice, subtle hop finish. I’d be the first to admit it’s not got a ton going on, but I really enjoy this beer. Refreshing, and clearly more interesting than lagers. Well done for the style. Gusler (2655), Tucson, Arizona, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 6, 2007 The beer pours from the 12-ounce bottle a clear gold, the head two fingers, the texture creamy and the color white, lacing provides a nice concealing sheet upon the glass. Nose has a sweet malt aroma; hint of hops, citrus like crispness, start has a decent malt presence with a bit of bitter bite, top light to medium in feel. Finish sternly acidic, somewhat sweet with the hops present, quite dry aftertaste, a drinkable beer, average at best, nice session beer. Oakes (8139), Kowloon, Hong Kong

Pilsener like aroma, slightly skunked and even a bit smokey... WTF! WHOA, malted peat and ashtray immediately up front. This comes across as a quasi english pale ale / czech pilsner. Hop aspect is nil, malt is minor, and WTF factor is high. It is light, somewhat refreshing, but not at all what I expected. Lingering campfire or charred wood... WTF?!?!   This seems to be an intermingling of various styles, or a new style completely. The ashtray reminds me of Full Sail Rip Curl or Redhook Chinook. Oh, and this is newly bottled too! Damnit, I want more barrel aged big beers from Fish Tale!!!

Almost non-existent aroma; a little malt sweetness. Taste is smooth with some ester sweetness. Slow, lightly bitter finish. Not a big fan. But, at 4% this packs in at least a little taste. 4%? My god. Now that’s a light beer. auderale (572), Fairchild AFB, Washington, USA
