Nose has orange/piney hops, some good malt too, orange, pours a slim custard head. Flavour has a milder orange/pine than the nose, malt is nicely integrated. Light bodied, well balanced, pleasantly bitter, easy drinking. Very good.

Flavour is light sweet, some caramel, toasted malts, some candy, flowery hoppy bitter finish, just a bit more bitter than what is typical English. Medium bodied. Very nice session ale.

Nov 13, 2009 Situation: release after a Kisatsky family movie night (thanks again to Brad for bringing this one up to Warren County!)...
Glassware: Howard’s Raw Bar pint...
Appearance: Creamy, thick, frothy foam; orange-bro, almost tea-like in color; little or no effervescence...
Aroma: soft pale malts and light but representative hops balance rather well--GD’s goal realized in scent, where the style is stated but not ridiculously overpowering, like many West Coast spruce trees...
Palate: medium-bodied, with some hops kick that fills out the glass on a rather full note; little bubble or fanfare, but finishes with a lingering aftertaste...
Taste: rounded, robust hops with a malt base that makes this an easily drinkable pale ale...
Overall: Smooth drinking, lip-licking beer that perhaps is stronger overall than its idividual aspects.... the taste is clean, clear, and pleasant--as versatile a paleas I’ve had ina while, besting the Stoudt’s offering...

Nov 2, 2009 12 ounce bottle from College Liquors. Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head and lots of lacing. A sweet biscuit nose, light hops. A nice flavor of fruity citrus hops, biscuit/bready malts. Easygoing and flavorful.

Oct 29, 2009 POurs dark gold with nice hop notes on the nose. The hops shows in a muted sense throughout but it drinks very pure. I like the fact that you taste the complexity without getting barreled over.

Oct 27, 2009 Pours a clear, rich golden hue from the 12oz. bottle: Bitter thoughout and into the finish. Tastes a little fishy? Like, literally, cod or something. I’m left unimpressed. Drinkability: Mediocore pale ale. Rebuy: Don’t know. It’s a little better than I expected, I’ll give it that. #167 on 27102009, DG.

Oct 13, 2009 Simple and plain. Just enough hops to keep me happy. Nothing I’ll purchase a great amount of though. Great Divide’s other pale and IPAs are much better.
