Commercial Description:
The Pale Ale boasts a fragrant aroma and assertive, crisp bitterness. This ale has a deep golden color and slightly sweet malt finish, which nicely balances its hop bitterness.

Light copper pour with nice thick head. Aroma of caramel and citrus. Bitter taste with hops present in the finish. Better than average American Pale.

Bright amber appearance with a small white head. Citrusy aroma of cascade hops. Mildly bitter taste matches up pretty closely, with the hops dominating at first and sweet malts showing up near the finish. Pleasant, tasty, uncomplicated and pretty true to style.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of floral, caramel, a little bready and lightly fruity. Tastes of floral, caramel with light citrus. Thinner body.

Not the best thing Ithaca makes by a long shot, but a solid brew. Crisp bitterness. Just a little one-dimensional.

Slightly sour, hoppy aroma. Some stale hoppiness in the flavor with a sour malt backbone. Not really bad, but woefully mediocre.

Nothing really special about this beer. Dark gold in color, small white head. Medium bodied. Aroma was slightly malty and sweet. Not much hop profile. Flavor was cardboard and mineral (close to alka seltzer) but with the usual IPA characters like malt & hops. Not all that bad, but I can find 50 better APA’s than this.

A nice APA from Ithaca -- my first from them, a nice selection here though. Decent hop profile.

(draft) Clear light amber body with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit, some floral/orange, caramel. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, light caramel. Moderate bitterness -- think West Coast APA. Light-medium body, light acidity.
