Light-medium body is lightly tingly with carbonation and sorta dryish. TheCaptain (559), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 2, 2008 Orange amber looking pour with minimal fizzy head. A floral grassy aroma with a citrus air that carries into the palate. A hops dryness towards the finish with a lingering slight bitterness. Meh, didn’t like this one really.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Aug 20, 2008 Bisquity cracker malt aroma. Metallic and slightly fruity (white grape, lemon).
Cracker malts dominate the flavor, mild citiric fruitiness, grapefruit. Minimal floral hoppiness, I don’t see what makes it extra pale. Palate is overcarbed. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

Poured a copper color with a pretty good sized head. Light in the palate with malt flavor with a little bit of a hop finish. Another average brew I would drink for free, but wouldn’t spend any money on.
