| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jun 18, 2009 Very average beer. For me it started fry and finished slighty sweet. I didn’t care for it, will skip it next time Berley31 (198), New Brunswick, Canada
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 9, 2009 On tap at brewpub. Poured with a small, off-white head that hung around for a while. Brownish-color and mostly clear with very low carbonation. Aroma has slight hops present. Taste is also hoppy, but a little more than I would have expected from the smell. Creamy and soft on the palate, with a medium-finish duration. A standard APA, but nothing special. mansquito (850), Boston/Philadelphia, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | May 28, 2009 Light coppery color. Weak looking white head. Malty and hoppy aromas. Citrus flavor. Light bitter hops. Mostly malty. Drinkable but unremarkable. brewski519 (438), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 24, 2009 Brought back from my recent trip home to New England. This Ale pours an amber color with a thin whiteish head. Aroma of hops, citrus, honey and biscuit. This pale ale has a nice smooth taste to it with hops, caramel and earthy flavors... solid, easy drinking pale ale. The carbonation that appears in abundance when the bottle is poured isn’t nearly as overwhelming as I expected... just right, actually. morrdt (609), Jacksonville, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 17, 2009 12 oz. single bottle from Total Wine in Jacksonville, FL. Pours a golden amber with a decent head. Aroma is flowery with hops. Flavor is very smooth, sweet, with hops and bitterness at the end. Overall, a very nice beer. smcolw (373), Wayland, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 9, 2009 Pours a dark golden like light honey, clear; forms a single finger white head that maintains a thin layer of minute bubbles on the surface. Slight, but sticky lace
Light hop floral with an equally light malt aroma. Well balanced and pleasant on the nose.
Sweeter than I anticipated, strong honey notes, nice bitter hop follow up providing excellent balance. Crisper than most pale ales with a moderate to higher level of carbonation. This is a far better beer than I initially thought. Worthy of a future purchase. I’ll probably use it for a blind session. halfonit (484), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 9, 2009 A descent brew from these guys. Has a unique malty and jops smell with a little undertone of flowers. Taste is a smooth malt flavor. Not too bad Gritty’s, not too bad at all. hotstuff (3183), Indiana, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 7, 2009 Botte (Total Wine & More-Ft. Myers, FL). Small tan head with poor retention, transparent body, softly carbonated, fair amount of lacing, and a gold hue. The aroma was malty, toffee and hops. Ditto for the flavor with a crisp and refreshing finish. A slightly tingly mouthfeel and this beer is medium bodied. An easy to drink APA and one that I would consider drinking again.
