I’m baffled why all of these northwoods beers have such low ratings. I thought this was pretty tasty. pours a coca cola brown with a pretty much no head. aroma is coffee, nuts, cherries, wood, and chocolate. Not too bad. flavor is sweet with a little woody tartness. Doesn’t seem like a pale ale at all. more like a brown ale or something. not bad.

On draught at the brewpub: Poured a clear amber colour with a thin head. Taste was abouto as thin as the head. Slightly watery, faint hops toward the finish. Otherwise an unforunately tasteless APA.

Tap at the brewpub. Copper pour. Light hop aroma, nothing real distinctive though. Pretty good hoppiness too it though, a little grassy, not a bad pale ale.

Bottle poured to glass. A sweet malty aroma of toasted malt grains and a light spuce hop aroma. Small white head disipated to a white rim. Light bodied and soft cabonation.

Clear bronze dark golden with a thin wispy white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasted pale malt with some citrusy hops hiding in the background. Body is thin and watery with the only noticable characteristic being some earthy hoppy bitterness toward the finish. Hardly an American pale ale.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy darkish amber with a small off white head. Nice looking pour. Aroma is soapy detergent, hops, light malt, and some citrus. Tastes better than it smells. Tart malts, bitter piney hops, and faint soap.

Picked up 12-oz bottle at brewpub, pours a clear medium dark iced tea caramel with a fast dissolving off white head. Some spotty lacing and thin ring around glass edge. Aroma of light malt, some apple, a touch of toffee and molasses. Taste is highly carbonated, light and slightly watery. Finish is clean, watery and no bitter finish.
