Clear amber color with a wispy, off white head. Has a mild hop and sweet malt aroma. Light -medium body with a very smooth mouthfeel. Nice sweet malt grainy taste here with a subtle hop essence. Finishes with a nice mild bitterness. Another tasty and highly drinkable pale ale, as they all should be. July 2005

Bottle. Pours orange/amber with a thin white head. Nice citrus aroma with some sweet malt in the background. Taste citrus, grapefruit, mango and some earthy malt. Good bitter finish, a little light on the palate. I’ve always considered this an APA. This was one of the ones that started me down this path, always a classic and finally I am rating this on National Championship day, GO BUCKS!!

Great Pale Ale. Borders on the pale ale scale. I know the name says pale, but the IBU’s, nose and taste all say IPA. One of my go to beers.

Citrus dominates the aroma. Excellent malt and hop balances. Not too over the top with hop presence. Outstanding IPA.

I know I was drinking an IPA. It is not a bad beer at all but there is nothing special about it. There are other more readily available IPAs in the area that are better.

12 oz bottle. Poured copper with thin white head on presentation. Decent malty backbone with a citrus finish. Meh, nothing special.

Pours orangey-copper amber with an eggshell head that lasts a bit before giving way to lingering carbonation. Tastes of mild citrus, spruce and soap. Dry, but loses 0.2 points for a slightly weird aftertaste. Almost closer to an APA than IPA. Christmas 2007; Cleveland Ohio.

12oz. bottle poured into a glass. very thin head as im pouring right now. has a redish amber appearance. smells kinda exotic, very faint fruity smell. upon the taste it is quite fruity flavored but not over powered. its kinda dry after taste. very deliscious overall. this is one of the few Great lakes i havent tried(untill right now). would recommend this definatly. but in only 20 so what do i know ;)
