Jun 4, 2006 Updated: Aug 12, 2007Had this on draught in South Barrington, Illinois. For a pale ale, I was left wanting. Not particularly hoppy in the nose or the taste, but more balanced than I’m used to. Copper color, thin head. Smooth, almost bland finish. Not bad, but not a good example of the type.

Mar 28, 2006 This was a light brown slightly grainy malt containing ale. The hops were there in a slightly grassy mode to balance the malt. Nothing impressive, but worth drinking.

Oct 21, 2005 Gold color with no head. Aroma is slightly reminicent of hops. The taste is very vague, but seemed to be some grains with a dry finish.

Aug 29, 2005 I’d file this one as a Pale Lager. Clear gold in color with a nice foamy, 1/3" white head. Kind of a musky aroma with a nice pils hop profile. Smoother and more balanced that expected. Sweet malts balance the pils hop profile along with a lemon biscuit flavoring. A little grain and corn starch bring it back down to earth. As a pale lager, it’s one of the style’s bests.

Jun 18, 2005 Bronze in color with no head. Like the other beers that I had of thiers the nose is faint and watery. There is just a bit of hops in it tho. THe taste does have some hop characteristics to it but there is definately quite a bit of like barley. Almost flat in taste and character. After reading what Cornfield had to say I wonder if this was a bad batch. Whatever.

Jan 11, 2005 Updated: Aug 11, 2005A good pale ale is my second favorite after an IPA, mailnly because I enjoy a good hopping. This pale, however, is flawed because it takes no chances. It looks good in the glass, golden yellow with a healthy white head. But the aroma is too mild, some malts, a slight citric hopping. The mouthfeel is watery. The taste is a good balance of malt and hop - but too weak. Very clean finish <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?
