Sep 3, 2008 OK APA but nothing great. Solid malt with some citrusy hops, but in the end the flavors are all fairly muddy. None of the crisp flavors that I think make a good pale ale.

Aug 25, 2008 Updated: Aug 30, 200812 fl. oz. / 355 ml bottle, bought at the GBBF 2008 for takeaway. ABV is 5.2%. Amber colour, moderate head. Interesting aroma, notes of ripe berries, flowers, caramel and some wood. The flavour has first a noticeable malty presence, then slightly subdued fruity American hops take over (a little more hops would not hurt!), leading to a moderately bitter and piney finish and aftertaste.
