| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 12, 2008 The first beer I tried at this establishment, it was outstanding! Pours a copper color with a great hoppy, spicy aroma. The bartender explained this as a Pale Ale but there were plenty of hops in there to make it an IPA. So the flavor was nice and hoppy, slightly sweet with a nice hoppy bitter bite to finish. Very good with great balance to it. I hope they don’t switch it out because I look forward to having it again. She said it was one of their more popular choices so I think I’ve got a good chance. mbrandon2w (109), Worcester, Massachusetts, USA

Best one I’ve had there so far. Girlfriend didn’t like it though, said it smelled like cat piss. tried to explain simcoe hops to her, but I didn’t get very far... jcwattsrugger (5333), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 28, 2005 Cask (gravity dispense), GBBF, August 2005. Appropriate name because this is indeed just another ale. I guess we see so few US craft brews over here that we expect something muscular and dynamic when we do. This reminded me more of a standard British bitter than an APA. Reasonable malt and hop balance but there’s nothing bursting forth. Some herbal notes. Dry and a bit dull. Short finish. Very average.
