| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Mar 27, 2009 Not overly impressed by this Pale Ale. Little malt sweetness, little bit of hops and a good mesasure of "ho-hum" thrown in as well. Not sure if this is a contract brew or Lion Brewery thought it up all on their own. watson1977 (279), , Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 28, 2009 pours a golden color with a foamy white head...looks a bit like a kolsch. super malty aroma...smells a bit soapy and exactly like spent pale malt or pils malt. flavor is very sweet and malty with little hop presence but enough to balance it out...a little bit of maize flakes in this one? mouthfeel is actually a bit creamy...not as bad as i expected. hopdog (5614), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 7, 2009 12oz bottle. Poured a medium to deeper and clear golden color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, some spicy hops, and a little soapy. Tastes of stronger caramel, and lighter spiciness. Lacing left on the glass. daknole (3027), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 25, 2008 Bottle from machfive55 I believe. Pours a copper/amber color with hardly any head. Aroma is malty, sweet but with a good nose of some spicy sweet hops. Flavor follows suit with more hops than I expected and a much better beer than I expected. Nice surprise. michael-pollack (2733), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 21, 2008 Just when I had given up on IBC, this one fell into my lap. It is copper, with nose of fresh hops, caramel malt, mild spicy esters. Tastes hoppy, malty, with medium palate heft and a decent complexity. This one was decent, and I would quaff it again any time.
