Golden pour, small white head, minimal lace. Flavor follows the aroma, sweet and hoppy, but there’s a stale malt off-element in the finish. Nice tingly hop burn on the palate. f351c4v (408), Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 20, 2008 Pours a clear reddish hue with a small, white head. Sharp, hoppy aroma, offset by malty sweetness. Medium body reveals a great balance of malts vs. a fresh cut hop finish. A nice standard ale. satan165 (612), River Grove, Illinois, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours tan with thin white head. Smells sweet aand hoppy, kinda flowery. Tastes sweet and bitter, some malt, kinda but a good balance of different hops. Very little citrus. Very good. heynik1885 (53), tonawanda, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 27, 2008 Pours a rich golden color with a small white head. No lacing on glass. Smell is flowery hops and malt with a slight citrus. Taste is same, nice on tongue, light carbonation and bitterness works well. Good overall IPA. wetherel (1641), Encinitas, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 26, 2008 The name pale ale always confuses me. An american lager is much paler than a pale ale. Burning river is easy to drink. Mild bitterness. Some melanoidins. Very nice session beer. Rciesla (3845), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 22, 2008 Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Sweet malty nose, with a floral pine hop character. A hint of citrus and decent hop character. daknole (3027), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 20, 2008 Tasting at mcbackus 10/19. Amber pour, hops on the nose...citrus hops. Good hops, decent malt. Pretty harsh...and if you like that style, this beer is for you.
