Has a golden color with a small white head and some carbonation. Smell is of malts. Taste is sweet and finishes with a bitter citrus flavor. Overall nothing special.

"Aged in cold cellars", or so says the label. Indeed, the six-pack was purchased at Albertsons. Poured a moderate in size foamy white head; not much for lacing. The colour was a clear copper/amber and a fair bit of carbonation was evident. Aroma was noticably hopped; I liked it. Taste was clean, fresh and hoppingly bitter. A nice beer even though the aftertaste maybe was a wee bit on the thin side.

This has got to be some kind of macro brewing mistake remarketed as a pale ale. Tastes like watered-down malt liquor. Smells a bit like dog poo. Shame on Old Fort Brewing.

Smells okay and vaguely pale aley. Looks a bit pale for a APA with a small head. Tastes heavily astringent with very little hop flavor. Very bad when warms. Borderline undrinkable; a tremendous disappointment.

LIghtly golden color at least as far as pale ales go, this is very disappointing. Somewhat unbalanced for the style, with overwhelming maltiness and very little if any to speak of in the hops department. Showing through with just a hint of fading pine and nuttiness.

Bottle: This is a terrible example of a pale ale. Did they forget to put the hops in? The color is typical dark gold with no head. The taste is malty and you can sense, if you try real hard, some hops. The body and feel are fine, it is just that you expect more bitterness from a pale ale. Next time I am staring at a six-pack of this and one of Deschutes Mirror Pond -- I am going swimming in the pond rather than the hidden river.

Pours a nice golden amber color. Aromas of malts, hops, and a touch of pine. Flavor is pretty good considering this is an macro product brewed for Albertson’s.

Very light in color. well, it is a pale ale. The tast was light as well. Almost no head to speak of.

If you like sweet and skunky, this is the beer for you. Definitely would NOT buy again.
