Nice golden color with weak head. A nose of peach with some floral hops. Bitter hops through out the palate, and a medium to light mouthfeel. Nice beer for session use otherwise similar to many others out there.

Fairly typical pale ale. Copper in color with a floral hop smell. Flavor has a slight sweetness and a lasting bitterness.

Bottle. Loose white head on a light straw body. Nose is floral and hoppy. Flavor is pretty mild. The first flavor to come out is hops and thats about it. Tastes slightly like dish soap. Moderate acidity. Bland, watered down flavor. Finish is sharp and bitter. It’s like they know that it was too watery, so they over hopped it. Blah.

12 oz bottle, snfiter. Bread, straw, meal malt (L); perfume, herb celery hops (L). Large, frothy, fizzy white head is diminishing and sits on a copper body. Lightly sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter flavor becomes a moderately acidic, moderately bitter finish. Medium-light body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation, bitter finish. The bottom line is: has a cleaning chemical bitterness.

Bottled at the Grey Lodge In Philly. From the NY brewery. The was a pretty average beer. Had a slight West Coast hop bite but that was it. Tasted what it should be.

Golden color with a decent head. The aroma is boring, a grassy malt scent. The flavor tastes a bit like a compost heap of beer. A tad skunky and nothing terribly enjoyable.

Light golden color with a moderate white head with bespeckling lace. Sweet french toast aroma. Alcohol is rather prominent in the nose as it warms. Sweeter throughtout the swallow. Light pale malts and straight forward bitterness. Borders on a malt liqour ale.

Color of a lager. Head leaves a think lace. Aroma of hops and acid. Flavor is acidic, with hops and barely noticeable fruit. Has a stomach acid quality I find in many PAs. Ok, but I like Summit better.
