Jul 16, 2005 Beautiful golden amber color with rich fluffy head. Quality hop, spice aroma. This pale tastes grand and smooth, but doesn’t excite the tongue too much and leaves a dry, yeasty aftertaste. Still, a perfectly good showing for the style.

Jul 14, 2005 Updated: Jun 18, 2009(Draft) Pours light coppery with off white head. Pretty good head retention and lacing. Aroma mostly hops. Mouthfeel slightly watery, finishes dry. Slightly smoky taste. Pleasant. UPDATE 6/18/09 Really more here than I first gave this beer credit for. Pretty nice.

Jul 1, 2005 Pours a four-fingered cream head that fades quickly leaving some lace. Clear amber color. Strong hoppy nose. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Starts hoppy, finishes hoppy, bitter aftertaste - typical pale. $1.70 for a 12oz bottle from Colonial Spirits, Acton, Ma.

Jun 4, 2005 Pours dark golden with a white head. Average malt and average hops as well. Nothing memorable about this one. Smooth and light. Average pale ale.

May 31, 2005 This is my go to beer if I’m not trying anything new. It’s balanced enough to drink everywhere at anytime with anything. Easy drinking hoppy, crisp, and dry all at once. Finishes clean without a lingering aftertaste. A good choice all the time.

May 10, 2005 Medium amber pour supporting a tall dirty white head with very little lacing. Crisp malty aroma with a little summer mellon sweetness and just a hint of pepper. Lightly toasted malt up front followed by flavors of biscuit, orange zest, milk chocolate and hops. Finish was dry and slightly bitter. An average beer which blends well with plenty of foods but which doesn’t stand out in any significant way.

May 9, 2005 From a 12 oz bottle
Beer is light amber, clear with little head. Light carbonation and head dissipates quickly.
Hoppy aromas with hint of apple. Light malt aroma and spices I can’t discern.
Taste is bitter and hoppy. Hints of sour apple. Lightly malty with hints of lemon as well. Medium bodied with light hoppy aftertaste. Very smooth and drinkable but flavorful as well. Very well balanced. The best pale ale brewed in Maine and my local go-to brew. Goes anywhere with anything.

May 9, 2005 poured a decent amber color with a thin white head. Sweet malty aroma with a piney presence in the back ground. Sweet taste with some hops. Really enjoyable, ot overpowering. Had a slighly over-carbonate finish.
