Jun 13, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Cloudy amber pour. Medium sized head that vanishes into a thin lasting film. Smells of hops, sweet malt, and a slight note of citrus. Well balanced flavor with a lasting bitterness in the finish. Enjoyable, but not one of the best for this category.

Jun 10, 2007 Updated: Jun 17, 2007The best beer overall at Oaken B’s. The IPA just lacked balance But this was hopiness in a glass. Balance nearing perfection. An oustanding pale ale. Stronger and more hoppy than most. I am not usually a pale ale fan either.

May 3, 2007 This pale ale exhibits a nice balance among citrus, bitter and orange-sweet. Amber pour with an appealing off-white, frothy head. Aroma of grapefruit and orange with some grassy notes alongside caramel maltiness. The flavor starts sweet which is quickly overcome by a bitter finish. Medium body. Comfortable mouthfeel.

Dec 15, 2006 Unfiltered hazy with a yeast, leaving a space cloud pattern, cool. Medium amber color. A small amount of pine and spice in aroma. Taste is mildly sweet with some pine.

Sep 14, 2006 Bottle. A fruity and very hoppy aroma (mostly grapefruit, light citrus). Orange-amber pour with very strong visible carbonation and a huuuuge rocky beige head which one can only hope to contain. Taste sweet and bitter, a little too much of the former, with a reminder of sugar. Touch of earthy chewiness, hops win out over an appreciable level of malt. Medium body, crisp bite, and a bone-dry Cascade finish. Nice, simple PA for daily consumption, bonus points for strong aroma and taste and the luscious, lacing presentation. In placing GB among its Indiana peers, I’d say ... better than a Pride and Joy but no Alpha King.
