Jul 15, 2009 Aroma is faint, with a hint of perfumey floral hops and light malt notes as well. Pours clear and gold with a really decent head and surprisingly good lace. Pale malts up front with some sweetness and a decent perfumey finish. A hint metallic, but when consumed with food, the metal goes away and the hops cleanse the palate Smooth and actually my favorite one of the four.

Jun 29, 2009 Bought at the Kirkland Costco. Odd, this one also smells kinda rancid like the German Hef did, but not as powerful. Nice clear gold and a strong tall white head that fell awkwardly in stages. Malty, chewy and not bad until you get to the finish where it seems the hops are moldy or something.

May 7, 2009 Local bottle. Sure it tastes just fine. Not really a stand out APA. Aroma was dominated by malt. The flavours were very muted but still balanced between the malt and hops, maybe even leaning to the malt side.

May 5, 2009 bb 6/11/09 or best never...
sunny golden yellow color with orange tints and a soft white head. there are some spots of lacing... briefly... but only because i just dumped the amber out.
it smells very floral... orange blossoms, pale malt (almost pils-ish?), caramel and a bit of spice akin to cinnamon.
the flavor is a bit metallic (which is amplified when sampled directly from the bottle?) with notes of pale malt, flowers, caramel and a bitter unpleasant finish.
the medium body is a bit oily yet flat and dead on the tongue.
it’s beers like these that make me drink wine... 5/3/4/2/9/2.3

Apr 24, 2009 It has been a long time since I have rated a pale ale. This one is okay, really mediocre actually. Clear yellow, white head. Citrus, some grain notes, and herbal hops. Pretty boring.

Apr 23, 2009 12 oz bottle. Malt makes upp for most of aroma some light fruity note from one of the three i drank. Gold body with white head and plenty of carbination. Thicker malt presence rather than refreshing flavor for me. Alright pizza beer.

Apr 19, 2009 Pretty decent pale ale. Not as much citrus or pine flavor I’m used to with American PA. Very clear and appealing ale. Decent head with alright retention I suppose. Good level of carbonation and the foam adds a good mouthfeel.
Not my fave pale ale but its not the worst I’ve had. Would recommend.
