Amber colour with thin white head.
Very tempting caramel/toffee, a bit citrusy and hoppy aroma. Hoppy, balanced flavour. Probably the best pale ale I have ever tasted. I like this A LOT! jimmay (205), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 1, 2009 Bottle from GBBF, drunk 28th Sept 08. Golden amber colour with a bit of white head. Slightly choccy, biscuity malt with light hopping. Drinkable palate, not that dry. I really enjoyed this. fidelis83 (729), Clinton, Iowa, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 31, 2008 Pours slightly hazy amber with a 2 finger chunky light beige head with good retention and sparse lacing. Aroma is lots of caramel malts, toffee, straw, lots of citrus, pine hops. Flavor caramel malt, chewy white bread malts, a hint of toffee. Pine hops are most prevailant with some floral and a very low level of citrus. Finish is floury pastry crust, pine hops and toffee, only a little bitter. Body is crisp light and smooth. Flavor doesn’t live up to the aroma and is pretty weak in body and abv but is a smooth and crisp take on the style that would make a great session. Tripplebrew (494), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 16, 2008 Pours a light hazy honey, golden yellow with thick white head with a fair layer of white head. Aroma is largely floral with honey. Flavor is floral/grassy with slightly sugared hops. Body is light with a watered down carbonation. Soonah (950), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 16, 2008 Standard copper pour with a two finger tall off white head that provided streaks of lacing. The aroma was light citrus and heavy floral hops. Almost soapy. The flavor was very light malt struggling against light citrus with pine, floral and soap crashing down. Average mouthfeel. Not a bad beer, the floral hops are just a bit out of whack. tupalev (2617), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 11, 2008 Bottle shared with Blankboy after the tasting and at this point, the notes are just about unreadable. Medium yellow, small fluffy white head. Aroma features mild malt and some light hops. Great taste - zesty fresh hops, medium malty body. Right on style, an excellent APA.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 5, 2008 0.33 l bottle. Copper color with creamy head. Sweetish aroma with flowery-citrusy hops and honey. The flavor is mainly about floral, citrusy and fruity hops with some fruity esters and maltiness in the background. Fairly high carbonation, too high for my taste. Basic APA.
