Feb 1, 2005 This one comes my way via Bück Dich.
The pour is a clear amber under a frothy white head.
Malt and fruit in the aroma. The flavor is sweet but lacks a good crisp hop presence. More like an Amber Ale. Mostly and average brew.

Oct 9, 2004 Bottle Pours a slightly cloudy, pale yellow/amber with a full white head that disolves into a thin haze. Lacing is fine and even. Aroma is mostly bread and slightly sweet dough. Faint hops. Flavors are a bit more hoppy, but lightly toased grain, bread and slight lemony taste. Feel is very smooth and soft, carbonation is very mild and the aftertaste is a hay and hops bitter.

Sep 11, 2004 Light golden brown with a small white head. Fruity hop aroma with some subtle toasted malt. Crisp and fruity hoppy flavor. Some notes of grapefruit and peach. Some light malts peak through to balance things out. Nothing wrong with this one, just unremarkable.

My experience with another Fish Tale Organic was rather pleasant, and I had high hopes for this one as well....
Clear, light amber hue, with a an ample, white head, that drifts swiftly down to size. Aroma is on the quiet side, to be polite. Alert, awake, fresh, even zesty, but possessing no particular flavorful sensations, nothing I like to detect in an ale, no matter how pale. As time goes on, the nose grows particularly more bitter, and there’s an increasing fruitiness flowering, but only a bit.
Once over the lips and on the tongue, disappointment prevails. Very simple, with a some hop presence, but remarkably mild at that, and very scant malt, if any. That hoppiness rides meekly through the finish and it’s appreciated well enough, but it’s a far cry from what I want.
Light body, slight texture, feeling more like a faint, inoffensive ESB than a fruity, hoppy pale ale. I’m not going to quibble over stylistic designations any longer, just end on the note that it moved me not.

Sep 4, 2004 Cloudy, dark yellow appearance, light white head. Fresh, floral aroma. Odd, slight band-aid taste to it. Some underlying citrusy notes to it to redeem it. Mouthfeel is decent enough. Perhaps the "organic" nature of this is what makes this somewhat unpalatable, but this is not one of Fish’s more stellar offerings.

Aug 25, 2004 Dark golden to amber color. Small off white lid of bubbles. Dry woody malt, hopsack and light peat aromas. I really like the malt flavors in this one. Has a mild highland malt/peat character. Dry hopsack flavors. Touch of dry buckwheat honey in the finish.
