Nov 15, 2005 Decent american pale ale. More here than the average amercan pale. Smooth, sweet and fruity in the front - orange (citrus). Finish is all sharp sharp bitter (like bad greens) with little else there. Biscuity malt in the middle.
I liked the super sharp bitter, but at the same time I felt like it needed to be subdued with some more of that great orange/citrus from the hops. Very close to being a very good beer. As it stands, this is just pretty good.

Nov 8, 2005 Medium-bodied, goldish color. Lightly carbonated, fairly dry, hoppy finish. Good malt expression in the flavor. Floral aroma.

Nov 4, 2005 12 oz bottle. This just didn’t taste like an APA to me. There was very little aroma at all. The flavor was decent, but not very hoppy. I got mostly bread and yeasty flavors. And some vanillaish malts. Not a very exciting brew.

Nov 1, 2005 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow & blankboy -- courtesy of GregClow. Dark yellow, thin white head. Slight hops and grain in off putting weak aroma. Light frothy mouthfeel. Slightly bitter bland taste - really not much else going on here. Serviceable pale, session ale, but that’s about it.

Oct 31, 2005 Bottle from Trader Joe’s in San Diego - shared with blankboy, HogTownHarry and tupalev. Yellow-orange colour with a tiny head. Both aroma and flavour hold a non-dememo combo of hops and malt. Not bad, but nothing really grabbed me.

Oct 29, 2005 Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy, GregClow and tupalev - courtesy of GregClow. Poured hazy yellow, with a thin white head - aroma of pee, hops, pepper and alcohol. Tasted of stale malt and hops, nothing much really. Pretty average and forgettable all around.
