Sep 5, 2008 Good beer. I prefer a bit more hops but this beer can hold its own for a pale ale. Worth a try... or two.

Aug 31, 2008 Bottle. Pours a coppper amber with a thin off-white head, some lacing. Aroma is very sweet malt and floral hops. I’d say this one had a little age on it as the malt is very forward and sweet while the hops are very subdued leaving a quite toasty malt body with some grassy lingering hop notes. Medium bodied with a fizzy feel. Still good, will have to get a fresher sample to see how the hops shine.

Aug 17, 2008 Sampled at the Flour City Brewers’ Fest 2008. Great Lakes Burning River Pale Ale is a clear, slightly carbonated golden ale. The head is thick, foamy and off-white. It has great retention and leaves nice lacing on the glass. The aroma is a little muted by the head, but it’s mostly fresh citrus, probably Cascade. It is medium bodied, a little starchy in the mouth and the finish is dry. It has pretty good balance, OK bitterness. There is a slight phenolic flavor. Not bad!

Aug 9, 2008 Updated: Apr 17, 2009It pours a pale copper color and maintains a decent head. The flavor is of hops and has some citrusy notes. Not a bad beer, but not a favorite either. It’s a good brew, just not my type.
