| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 1, 2006 Amber-orangeish color, with a small beige head, citrus flowery hop note, with some piney, cedary accents, hint of toasted malt in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a grassy citrusy hop character, a juicy piney accent, crystal malt, hint of lime fruitiness, leading towards dry and floral hops bitterness finish. frankenkitty (1902), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 11, 2007 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.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 10, 2008 To me this is very much like #9, with more complexity and a little stronger hop notes. Tastes like a pale ale with, hints of spice & orange. Overall a decent beer sorry to see it’s being retired. dirtymike (2018), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA

Well brewed mix between the ever warring factions of malt and hops. Slightly sweet with a nice dry finish. Gr0ve (1400), Oslo, Norway
