| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 23, 2004 Cask, advertised as "XPA with Cascade". Poured a cloudy gold color with no head or lacing. Very mild citrus hop and sweet, malty aroma. No bitterness with just a hint of citrus in the taste. Bland apple juice, and iced tea (possibly some heather flowers?) and a slightly bitter finish. Not very impressing, the Cascades certainly helped here, the regular XPA must be shit. Shadrach (176), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 15, 2004 Coloring was a pale yellow orange. Aroma had some spice and malts. Taste had a little spice and some minor hops with some burn on the tongue and some citrus in the aftertaste. Drinkable but seemed a bit weak. HighlanderOne (545), Somewherein, New Jersey, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 20, 2004 OK, but I expected more. Seemed more sweet than hoppy to me. Would probably make a good lawnmower beer. argo0 (6939), Washington DC, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Apr 18, 2004 Clear apple juice body with medium white head. Aroma is faint, apple, pine, fresh-baked bread. Taste is medium sweet, apple, tart, finishing very mildly earthy bitter. Light body. r464 (285), Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 19, 2004 Light gold in color. Quickly disappearing head. Barely any aroma. Tastes crisp and light with a slight sweetness. Flavor is weak but not watery. Not the best Flying Fish. JonR888710 (999), Cochabamba, Bolivia
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 17, 2004 Yellow, pilsner-like body color. Head starts big with fizzy white bubbles, then dies down to about 1/8 inch. Smells lightly of pine hops and not much else. Not as much hop taste as anticipated. Actually, it is mainly peachy sweet with some cherries and a small amount of lemony hops to balance the taste. Overall, a pretty weak, mild flavor with lots of carbonation... soda-like. mkobes (2104), paramus, New Jersey, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Feb 12, 2004 Clear golden in color. Very clean aroma. Nice hoppy pale ale but well balanced by the malt.. Really enjoyable brew. MaiBockAddict (1499), Good Beer Bar Deprived, New Jersey, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 12, 2004 Clear golden in color, not much head. Aroma is clean with a slight fruity hop. Flavor is hoppy, balanced nicely with a nice carmel malt flavor that comes in from around the corner. Nice and drinkable, and flavorful enough to keep me satisfied.
