Jul 30, 2004 Orange gold color. Small head. Aroma is malty and sweet. A medium bodied pale ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are fairly bitter, grapefruity and sweet. Nicely balanced. Perhaps a little hoppy for a pale ale, but it kind of works. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Jul 20, 2004 Tap. A little extra hops compared with the average brewpub pale. Somewhat off-balance, and this makes it too sour for its class. Not such a pleasant finish either.

Jun 2, 2004 A big sticky head on a copper brew that falls flat and boring after their IPAs. Thin and watery with little character.

May 25, 2004 Great spicy hops up front, with a touch of sour. Starts light and sweet, with a nice round bitter finish. What some brewers wish their IPA could be. Good.
