| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 21, 2003 Crystal golden body with a big ass rocky white head, how’s that for description?
The aroma is truly thicker with malt than hops; actually the flavor is as well. Big notes of pine, very natural and earthy; what seems to me to be a portly English hopped finish, crisp, and DRY as the Sahara, not citric but rustic.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 13, 2003 Misty yellow, light aroma of mostly hops. Starts out with a sweet malt character is of citrus and apple, finishes dry with a hops bite. Light bodied and balanced fairly well. A decent APA, refreshing for a warm day, but pretty much middle of the road. SDbruboy (1832), San Diego, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 28, 2003 Bottle. Pours slightly cloudy light amber with a creamy white head that lasts and lasts. Aroma is sweet malts, light hops, lemons and tart apple. Flavor is initially sweet, then has a weird slight vinegar taste along with the bitter hops. Astringent finish is too much. It's possible I had an old bottle that has begun to turn. Palate is creamy and smooth. labattblueleaf (225), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Oct 19, 2003 Subtle hoppiness. Not over-hopped like the traditional pale ales. Golden in color and due to the lower hop flavor, finishes crisp. I also noticed stuff floating in it but I'm not smart enough to figure out what the hell it is. GOOD BEER!

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 18, 2003 Aroma was a bit weak, not like other Blue Heron's I'd tasted. Also, the flavor was more grainy than I remember. Disappointing. RichardGretton (3156), Leicestershire, England
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 12, 2003 Not too pale ale with a frothy head and a light aroma. Well hopped flavour with a malty and dry finish. A nice dry ale. steview (902), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 6, 2003 golden yellow, cloudy, white head that leaves completely. a little sweet with peppery grapefruit and a very off bitterness. the legend? it wasn't flat, but something is weird... lots of variety in ratings on this brew.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 6, 2003 Great hazy golden yellow color, with good head and excellent lacing. Flavors in this are all out of whack - it's all about hops (not necessarily good ones either) - malts are so thin and bland.
