Jan 20, 2008 Pours a cloudy orange with a thin, spotty white head. Slightly grainy and semi-sweet pale malty nose has some mild grassy hop notes. Body follows suit with the aroma, some lightly sweet toasted grainy malt flavor and a muted bittering hop presence toward a bittersweet finish. Quite drinkable and not really offensive, just doesn’t seem to have any outstanding characteristics.

Dec 21, 2007 12oz bottle shared courtesy of TomDecapolis. Poured a medium to deeper golden color with a small sized white head. Aromas of citrus and caramel. Tastes of citrus, caramel, and pine, and lighlty spicey in the finish. Thinner body.

Jul 26, 2008 Bottle... Mostly clear, golden ale with a small, fizzy, white head that dissipates in a flash. The nose offers lots of toffee and biscuit malts with lesser notes of perspiration and spicy hops. Medium to full-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and ticklish carbonation. Plenty of toffee sweetness overpowers the initial, snappy hop bite. Finishes honey-sweet.

Feb 11, 2008 Golden of body with a short lived eggshell head that laces heavily, this has a pale malt sweetness to the aroma with a touch of candy corn and a faint herbl/floral/earthy hoppiness. Light on the flavor side, it has sweet malts, warm honeyed bread, and a very mild bitterness. Okay to drink, but difficult to recognize as an APA. Three Cellars, Franklin, WI

Nov 4, 2007 Straw color with a smallish white head. Noble hops aromas, slightly grassy with a faint hint of dry pale malt. Quite dry in flavor, mild pale malt with the grass and lightly herbal hops undertone. For some reason I expected more depth and heft to this one. A light pale ale with lager tendencies. I will revisit shortly with a full bottle verses the four tries at a tasting last night. I will likely have some more descriptor, but I’m not sure the rating will change much.
