Commercial Description:
An original American pale ale, our XPA highlights the subtle, sophisticated flavors and aromas of our Midwestern two-row malt and imported aromatic and Munich malts. Washington-grown Mt. Hood and Fuggles hops create an extremely balanced beer with a beautiful straw color.

Clear orange-gold with a small, quickly fading white head. Aroma of sweet malt and citrus. Taste is malty sweet with notes of citrus/lemon, light caramel and lightly floral hops. Not much bitterness, grassy finish. Medium body and carbonation. Not bad but boring.

A decent APA, a little light on hops and little to no head. Still, drinkable.

Weak by Pale Ale standards, but not objectionable, flavor is somewhat stronger than aroma/color initially indicates. I currently have a keg of this through Martins Liquors(Woodbury Hts.) and its overall quality is good.

Pours an amber body with little head. Aroma almost nonexistent. Flavor is mostly bland, with some hoppiness in the finish. Ho hum. Hate to echo Drews sentiments, but this really is average.

This is pretty average - must be their "for the masses" brew. Hops were on hand, but only enough to dry out the finish. Malts are nice, but a little bland. I’m surprised actually - the other stuff I’ve had from them has been better than this.

Pretty good Pale Ale. I only had it in the bottle so I can’t judge it for real. However Sam Adams and Sierra Nevada are both better I think. You can drink several and not get plastered which is a plus.

Ok as a Pale Ale. Somehow I knew I would like this least among all the Flying Fish beers. Still, not so bad. I wouldn’t mind a sixer of this over BMC

Golden body, weak head, weak alcohol, good but not great for XPA. I am not an PA fan, but this was good.
