It looks like a pale ale, but the flavor seems more hoppy. I like this one better than most of the pale ales I’ve tried. Immy (1912), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA

Nose is fruity, peach, summery fruit. Some floral notes. Light, yeasty hop flavor, mildly dry finish. Solid! MrRomero (1934), Nolanville, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 23, 2006 Updated: May 24, 2006Draft at Rich O’s: poured amber with a small white head. Little aroma at first but after a few sips, a bunch of stuff came out. At first, it smelled of pear, then some peach, then overripe bananas which is how it rermained. Earthy, yeasty, hop flavor. Some doughyness. This is billed as an English IPA, not an American IPA. I think it mostly hits the mark but I’d be interested to know if they used some weizen yeast in it due to the banana phenols. Pretty bitter finish. Quite tasty. Oycpff (93), USA

Would like to bring some back for Piscator to get his expert opinion. Perhaps towards the end of March. He can only hope and dream. Styles (1653), Lincoln Park, Michigan, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 9, 2005 Sample (growler) courtesy of TAR. mahogany with no head. Decent pine hop aroma. Flavor very bland and musty almost english style hop character. Overall just something seemed off. Tmoney99 (4780), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Sep 24, 2005 Dry, extremely piney hop aroma, the highlight of the beer for me. Malty and dry flavor with a hint of diacetyl. Not much bitterness to speak of. Weak finish, somewhat bland and...yucky, for lack of a better word. Lacking carbonation.
