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.

Golden, small white head. Decent hoppy aroma, taste is of a middle of the road pale ale.

12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Copper with head and lace. Spicy aromatic perfumy band-aid aroma. Spicy mild biscuit minty melony with somewhat dry finish. What a mess. Not sure if I’ll make it through this one. re-rate: Tried to have this again last night, because I had to buy a mixed 12-pack to get the smoked porter,which also sucks. But I had to drain pour it. It was a soapy bandaidy perfumy sugary spicy mess. How do you fuck up a pale ale that bad? Third time’s a charm? Finally finishing the pale ales from the twelve pack because I’m too broke to buy more beer right now, and, not sure what happened, but it’s not as bad as it seemed before. Just a regular mild pale ale, a little sweet lemon perfumy and slightly soapy, but not as bad as it seemed before. Can’t explain it. Apologies for the really bad first and second ratings.

Bottle Pours a clear golden with a good white head, disapates quickly and leaves almost no lacing. Has a real good hoppy aroma. Has a good crisp mouthfeel. Good carbination. Has a lighter body than heavy. Taste is good. Lots of hops and bitterness. Has a decent finish and feel real good going down. This is a real good beer.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Deep gold in color with a small off-white head. Aroma is of toast, malt and leaves. Taste is of spices and hops.

12 oz bottle. From the same variety pack as the Oaked Nut Brown, and as I was disappointed in that beer, I’m a bit disappointed in the Pale Ale as well. It’s got a typical look and aroma, but all I can taste are the bitters of the hops. Very little flavor other than that. Seems to me Ithaca used to be better than this.

(Bottle) Pours a clear golden body with a small white head. Aroma of caramel, toasted grain, light citrus, and florals. Flavor of caramel malt and mild hops (citrus).

Bottle. Nose-hops, wet cardboard. Taste-it tastes like a pale Ale. What more do you want from me?

Bottle thanks to Bu11zeye. Pours a hazy yellow with white head. Aroma of light lemon. Flavor of light malt, some grapefruit, nice small bitter. Overall, nothing impressive, it’s OK.
