Bottle: poured clear orange with a small white head. Mild malt and hop aroma. Nothing spectacular. Flavor is semi malty but less of what I expected. Lightly sweet. Finish is bitter. The body is nice, semi full for such a light beer. Decent session beer.

tap: thin amber color. Aroma reeked of bitterness. The beer was extremely bitter and dry, but also very enjoyable. Definitely a better common beer.

12oz Bottle. Nothing real special here. Another basic boring EPA. Cool tap handle however. If they put as much importance into how the beer tastes as they do marketing it they may have something

Pours a frost-hazed, vermillion/bronze body with a head that can simply be described as "lacking". I find a low berry-fruitiness to the Ovaltine malt aroma... which is quite pleasant as a package. Minor hop notes strike the palate first then dissipate quickly to the flavor of fresh baked bread and a cup of tea. A little more fruitiness shows through here as well (is it just me?) Mid bodied, a little sugary with a tingly mouthfeel.

Fat Angel’s label has a line that reads, "a paler shade of ale". At first it struck me as a simple pun, then it seemed self-deprecating. After sampIing several bottles, I take it to mean that this beer is suitable to all palates... not just to those which have grown accustomed to the harsher profiles normally associated with India and American Pale Ales.

Weakly hopped. Decent clean head. Color looks good for the style. Not much sweetness. Overall kind of bland.

Bottle smapled with Stegosaurus. Pours copper with a thin beige head. Aroma of floral hops, slight citrus and fruit. Flavor is sweet malts, fruit, slight hoppy bitter finish. Good body good brew.

Pours a clear amber color. Aromas of citrus, malts, and a touch of burnt caramel. Flavor is crisp hoppy with a nice dry finish. Just an average English Pale Ale
