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; Aroma: Unfolding hops & fresh, bready malt; Palate: very fresh-tasting floral hoppiness. Not overwhelmingly bitter at all, just great hop flavours well balanced by fresh malt.

(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.

Bottle... Clear golden ale with a tiny, fizzy, white head. Black tea, biscuit, sugar cookie and wildflower honey flow into my nose from the glass. The flavor is bitter, fruity and dry. Light-bodied and fizzy. Short, crisp, moderately bitter finish. Cheers to growler for bringing this bottle back from his New England trip!

April 2004: 12 oz bottle. Clear copper, good head retention. Nicely balanced spicy grapefruity hops and firm malts in the nose. Fairly sweet, nice body, slightly buttery, little hops in the flavor, some orange, creamy...dull but quite drinkable. 7/3/5/3/12 3.0

October 2005: I got little from the nose...some spicy sprucy woodiness, bit of citrus...in the nearly as indistinct mouthfeel, it’s moderately bitter, lightly smoky-ashy...peppery-dry almost alkaline finish...just not refreshing or enjoyable despite some interesting components. 4/3/4/2 2.0 Rating is a combination of the two.
