| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 13, 2009 The aroma is very grassy and malty with a good malt hops balance. The appearance is golden with an average head. The flavor is sweet and bitter as expected but it also has a buttery taste as well as a medicinal taste that seems out of place. The palate is thin but smooth. Overall this is an enjoyable pale ale. ¾ (5009), Boulder, Colorado, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 12, 2009 Bottle, filtered, force-carbonated. Hay and honey scented malts in the nose along with a dull and stale oxidized rye and orange marmalade hop note. Lively carbonation, medium body, slightly oily texture in the finish. Moderately crisp but lacks freshness and impact. Stale honey, rye, wheat and soybean all come to mind. Weak effort. ChapelThrill (26), California, USA

Didn’t try from tap while there, but was curious. Slightly hazy amber color. Malty flavor with slight hoppiness. Very drinkable and a decent pale overall. Was pleasantly surprised.
