| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 28, 2009 Above average American pale ale. Pours orange fruity colour with fast disapearing white head. Aroma is a mixture of malt, hops and a bit of socks. Medium mouthfeel, even a bit light, but flavourful and smooth drinking, to the end. Fruity taste, understated C-hop, udnerstated carbonation. Works. 1FastSTi (2560), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 25, 2009 Pours to a deep orange body with a ridiculously creamy off-white head. The flavor is really toasty, caramelly, and has a subtle cascade hop. Extremely malty. The aroma is toasted bread and light cascade hops. Some weedy hops too. The palate is medium bodied and extremely creamy. It does leave the mouth watering. I thought this was more of an APA. GJF (501), Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 16, 2009 eh, it’s fine, but nothing very exciting. Drinkable pale, a little fizzy, not much hop to it. esjaygee (1519), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 14, 2009 Red-orange with a medium tan slowly fading head. Aroma of citrus hops, crystal malt, grapefruit, almost too sweet. Taste of grapefruit, caramel, light citrus hops and diactyl. Body comes across as a touch thin and it’s not hopped enough for the style. Finishes up with a mild bitter/citrus mix. MrRain (428), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 8, 2009 12oz bottle poured into an English pint. MIPA pours dark copper and murky with a largish head that leaves little lacing. The aroma is malty with strong hops and a touch of laundry soap. Hidden behind the harsh hop and sap aroma is a nice smooth biscuit aroma. I like this beer. I’m not certain it is an IPA though. The malt character is pretty strong for an IPA. It’s fairly robust with the malt and hops staying distinct. It is surprisingly good for a brewery I’ve never been terribly impressed by. The finish is medium-to-dry. brewmaster55 (48), , Wisconsin, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 31, 2009 This Pale Ale tastes more of an Amber Ale with a slight Cascade Hop after taste, certainly not what you would expect from a Pale Ale. Smooth beer, still drinkable, but if you are searching for a true Pale Ale, you’ll need to search further down the beer aisle. drfabulous (1240), Columbia, Missouri, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 12, 2009 Standard Pale Ale that could serve as session beer. For an IPA, not very hoppy. Decent body. kramer (2465), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 2, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear dark copper body with a nice foamy beige head that had good staying power. The nose is nice green leafy hops with some subtle caramel maltiness. A little grainy maybe. The taste is pretty bitter up front at first, but once you get used to it it seems rather murky. Light leafy floral hops with a grainy crystal malt iced tea finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, a fairly run of the mill IPA, it didn’t stand out at all, and by the end of the bottle I actually got a bit tired of it.
