alexkeil (9), USA does not count Jul 3, 2008 This is a beer that has some bite...hoppy flavor that isn’t overwhelming, a great beer to start someone on that hasn’t ventured far from pilsners bigrond (844), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA May 31, 2008 I liked this beer, much like I liked everything from Ithica. It was a very bitter pale ale. Dry and crisp. The acl. is a little low but flavor is real nice. Had this in a variety pack. Radek Kliber (3274), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Apr 20, 2008 Bottle 355ml
Appearance: Poured with very large foamy cream tanned top , amber finely hazed brew.3+ Nose : Clear , crisp aromatic hops , clean citric zesty fruits with light caramel base and touch of peper.7+ Flavor/Palate : Full bodied with oily texture, hops in full swing , bitter end. Soft warmth and finish that is lacking a bit of refinement but it could be just me being picky.
dmradus (223), Syracuse, New York, USA Mar 2, 2008 Rather uneventful, if entirely solid, pale ale. Orange-amber, off-white head quickly fades. Caramel malts predominant, sweetness balances very well with a subdued hop presence in floral, grassy, very slight citrus. Moderate mouthfeel, high carbonation. Slightly fruity and sweet on the tongue, hops come in later and leave a moderate bitter aftertaste. Ok, but Ithaca does much better. blipp (567), Grand Island, New York, USA Feb 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours orange with an off white head.
Hoppy aroma, rather floral with some nice caramel malt as well. Medium body. It has a very good balance of malt and hops, but overall the flavor is pretty mild. Not bad but I was looking for just a bit more.
