Dec 31, 2005 bottle-pours light orange with a small fizzy white head. aroma of earthy hops with that definate green organic thing going. It doesnt smell like PNW’s however. more EKG and Fuggles than PNW. flavors are earthy, sweet malt and fairly resinous. body is a little lilte and somewhat flat. pretty boring beer if you ask me.

Dec 28, 2005 Updated: Nov 19, 2006Bottle:
Pours copper-orangle with a decent head; the aroma is citrus hops and a hint of toast. The flavor contains the expected pine-and-citrus of the cascade hops, but brings with it a certain graininess, a strong hint of burnt rubber tires, and a weaker hint of rotting salmon. Mouthfeel is thin, but reasonable for the style and low ABV.
Not a particularly impressive beer.
Draft:
Pours light orange with a robust head. The nose is fairly pleasing - loads of caramel with citrus wafting all about, mostly orange, maybe a bit of lime. But what a disappointment the flavor turns out to be. Cardboard strongly dominates, with a dry bitterness behind it that reminds more of metal and talcum powder than of juicy hops.
Unfortunately, this one is consistant with my impressions of the rest of the Fish Tale organic line: Not worth drinking unless one is confronted with a truly dire set of taps.

Dec 13, 2005 Slightly hazy copper body; fluffy ivory head… soapy lacing. As with most of the session beers that Fish Tale brews, this pale ale also has a roasted malt, kind of burnt cedar plank smokiness to it…. Now reading others reviews, I am the only one that picks this smoky likeness up?? There is a nice caramel profile, hints of toffee, and a nice mouthwatering juicy hoppyness on the back end and finish. Gentle citric notes, some grapefruit, guava, lemon… a nice spruce chipped spiciness… Earthy… a Great session beer!

Nov 16, 2005 Bottle. Poured a transparent lighter-golden with a quickly-diminishing white head. Caramel malt, honey, and rather stale floral hoppage. Light on the palate, yet tacky on the roof and around the edges of the mouth. A bit grainy, too. Flavors of caramel, dried flowers, light honey, and some residual citrus from the Cascade. Lemon and barley provided a mild finish. This really didn’t do it for me.. but I appreciate the Salmon Coalition efforts and the organic ingredients.

Nov 5, 2005 12 oz bottle, via trade w/ 1FastSTi. Copper colored, small fizzy head, lots of carbonation rising. Soft floral hop aroma, some light grapefruit notes. Tastes lightly bitter with a background of soft malt. Medium bodied with a pleasing creamy mouthfeel. Nothing outstanding here, bit a nice session Pale Ale at 4% ABV.

Oct 11, 2005 Light amber in colour. The aroma is all caramel malt with this one. The flavor is also dominated by caramel, with some notes of peach and a bit of mild orange on the back end. A little watery, but about what you’d expect from a low test beer. I’m wondering what happened to all of the hops with this one?

Sep 4, 2005 Bottle. Pours a lightly opaque, medium amber color with a fantastic off white head that is quite dense and leaves great foamy lacing. Aroma is lightly floral and fruity. Medium bodied. Quite a nice balance of malt and hop. Peach and very subtle grapefruit seem to come out in flavor. A bit light on the palate. Decently done and at 4% would make an excellent session beer.

Aug 27, 2005 From a bottle shared by Chuck. Cloudy amber body, short-lived soapy whtie head. Mint, mandarin orange, and KFC biscuit malt in the aroma (banana highlights on the end). Yeast-spicy, lemon/stem hops highlight the flavor while a bready malt provides the foundation. Minerals in the finish.
