had it last week at cheeseburger in paradise so i hope i remember well enough. was surprised at the hops character in the taste and smell. the server said it was triple hoped which i doubt but it was still entertaining. good carbonation and a pretty copper color. great alternative to ordering the other macro pale ales when out.

Had a quarter of this for a draft party. Was well received by all. I enjoyed this beer maybe too much. Enjoyed it more than the draft at least.

judging by the other rates, i think im on the right beer here. i had it at a hotel bar last night and they called it "coasters ale". but it was a dark red/copper color, moderately hoppy and actually pretty good. it caught my attention because it said leine’s on the tap. i’d buy it again, it was a pleasant change from the budlight that was my other choice.

Pours red with a moderate head. Fair body with a pleasant hop bitterness. Not all too bad.

Actually not a bad beer. Had it on tap as the Island Ale as well. Wasn’t expecting much when I ordered it but to my suprise it was actually alright.

On tap at Cheesburgers in Paradise, sold as "Island Ale." Amber/Orange in color with a small off-white head. Light grassy citrus aroma. Not really much initial flavor. Some of the hops come through in the finish. Palate was very light and watery

On tap at the Rock River Tavern inside the St. Louis Airport Marriott. Labeled there as Rock River Ale. Pour was a crystal clear copper with a one finger white head that provided no lacing. The aroma was spicy, slightly malty and had some decent hops in the nose. The flavor was a nice mix of spice, crystal malt and piney hops. Very refreshing. Very drinkable. I must admit I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this one.
