Cheers to ckschubert for bonusing this in a trade last week. For getting another state of the way this was not a bad choice at all. True it is an American pale ale which does not have the punch of a stout or heavily hopped IPA but sometimes you need a change of pace. Check this one out if you are ever out west.
Aroma / Appearance - The amber body tickled the senses with honey, corn and a bit of hops. Overall it looked like your typical lawnmower beer complete with transparency and carbonation.
Flavor / Palate - For a pale ale it was more complex than I expected. Grain and malt slide down the tongue before a nice bitter finish of dry white toast. This seems like a safe transition beer for your adventurous BMC drinking friends.

May 18, 2008 Poured into Red Sox pint glass. Light golden brown, cloudy. Big head which remains. Great smelling nose, flowery hops. Tangy, sharp...sour taste. Bitter and sour. Tangy sour in the back of the palate. Checking bottle, indicates Dec 07, not sure if that’s why it’s so sour.

May 15, 2008 Updated: Jan 6, 2009June ’07 bottle from trade with maniac. Beautiful hazy yellow color with huge white head with great lacing (looks like a belgian wit). Minimal hoppy aroma and notes of infection. Tastes is bad, sour, lemony. Not pleasant. Second tasting at Xmas Eve^3 party. Not infected, very fruity with a lightly bitter hop profile. About average.

Mar 27, 2008 Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of hops giving it grassy and grapefruity notes - my guess is Cascade. The flavor has crisp malty notes with strong notes of grass and hops, as well as lighter notes of citrus and fruit, leading to a dry and very bitter finish.
