Smells richly of hops and pine, similar to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Finishes with hints of fruits, but very hoppy. Very good American pale ale.

Nice aroma with floral and citrusy hop notes. Fairly well-balanced, with a slight nod to the hoppy side of things. A mixture of grapefruit and grassy hop flavors, with just a tiny bit of hop bitterness as it went down. A nice, tasty ale. BDR (2167), Roseville, Minnesota, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 28, 2007 355 ml bottle (5.6% abv). A near-clear dark copper to light amber pour. One finger quickly diminishing tan head. Prominent grapefruity hop aroma with whiffs of clean dry malts. A humble, but well composed taste of light sweet malts, gentle bittering hops with some noteable fruity accents. Body is a bit underweight. Water in the palate, but not very exposed. Short light bitter, light acidic finish. Overall, nice!
