Jun 28, 2009 12-oz. Thanks, BitBucket! Pours a crystal clear medium/light amber. Bright gold highlights. Light tannish ring of foam. Light grassy/piney nose. Watery body that’s climbing up to a medium level. Little bit of carb showing. Caramel and pine on the mid-palate, with a longish resiny finish. Really too restrained in almost every way.

Jun 26, 2009 Updated: Oct 18, 2009On cask at George Keely’s (NYC): Pours a rich cherry-wood colour, aroma of orange peel. Hoppy tastes of bitter orange peel and faint black currant. Dangerously drinkable. Hops flavor lingers with each sip. #029 on 26062009, DG.

Jun 26, 2009 (Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 25 June 2009) Amber colour with frothy, beige head. Fruity, hoppy nose with orange peel, caramel, black-currant and fresh hops. Fruity taste with notes of orange, apricots, caramel, black-currant and fresh hops in a well balanced finish with a generous hop characater. More emphasis on aroma than bitterness. Medium body, balanced sweetness. Nice beer, tasty and very drinkable.

Earlier Rating: 3/3/2005 Total Score: 3.5
Bottled, labelled IPA Nectar. Clear dark amber, no head. Aroma of lychee and pine needles. Dry and medium bodied with clean, hard mouthfeel. Some cookie malt flavour - but most of the flavour is in th ehoppy aroma. The finish is grapefruity, resiny and really bitter. A school book example of American style IPA: Technical perfection, but where’s the soul?

Jun 25, 2009 Ok bronze-brass color with diffuse airy head. Nice chinook aromatic hop bitterness. Muted complexity, but good Chinook bitterness flavor profile. A nicely bitter accented IPA.

Jun 23, 2009 Thank you for creating this entry, even if most of the stats up top are wrong.
Appearance: Poors clear copper/orange/amber with a foamy 1/4 offwhite head. Leaves tons of webby lacing on the glass as I drink it down.
Aroma: Grapefruit, orange oil and zest, pine, flowers, and perfume.
Taste: Bitter and citrusy hops and dry Euro-like malt. Finishes with a fruity popuri bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Thin, refreshing and a little juicy.
Overall: I never got to try this beer when it was made by Humboldt Brewing. With that in mind, there are many trademarks/similarities in this beer, and the rest of the "Pale" series of Firestone Walker label beers.
