nqualls (185), Tennessee, USA Aug 28, 2008 Bottle. Poured a gold color with a one finger white head. Earthy hops and carmel aroma. Flavor is hoppy up front and finishes sweet. Light-Medium body with good carbonation. doubleo (749), San Diego, California, USA Aug 20, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours golden amber with a thin, crisp, white head. Smells caramelly malty and earthy hoppy. Tastes slight hoppy and then sweet malty throughout. Hops are earthy and slight citrusy. Medium body, good carbonation. scraff (1656), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Aug 10, 2008 Light hazed orange, creamy off white head (great lacing). Fresh caramel citrus aromas ride warm biscuit-like notes. Soft citrusy grapefruit peel and melon hop flavors balance on a kiss of sweet caramel and pale biscuity malts. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, crisp, bittersweet finish. Super refreshing on a hot summer day. A quality pale ale in my book... jzzbassman (685), New Albany, Mississippi, USA Jul 28, 2008 Bottle. Lightly hop scent, with some herbal and hay smells. Flavor is really lighter than I like in an APA, but clean and without flaws. A bit bubbly, would go well with spicy food. timsilvia32 (198), born in Michigan, North Carolina, USA Jul 11, 2008 Refreshing in scent and appearance. Nice floral boquet. Clean and crisp, not as bittingly bitter as some pales. Clean as a whistle. I’d almost consider this to be more like an Alt. This would be the beer to drink in the spring/summer, not the Shining Rock Lager, though that is good also.
