ditmier (1021), Boise, Idaho, USA May 8, 2009 2008 Can - Pours a dark orange with a large off white head...aroma is sweet and hoppy...flavour is piney and smooth, with a caramel finish and an astringent bittrness that lingers...mouthfeel was pretty bad, coats like dairy with little if any carbonation...also had a metallic quality that had little to do with the can, but still easy drinking and enjoyable... USCBeerMan (103), Columbia, South Carolina, USA May 7, 2009 A honey amber colored brew that is sensually pleasing and refreshing, an added comfort is that it is packeaged for use in the great outdoors. The aroma is hoppy and enticing with a strong plesentation. The flavor is very hoppy and enjoyable. The beer is good on the palate and a great choice for fishing as I have found or any other outdoor activity 6ROW (243), corpus christi, Texas, USA May 6, 2009 light copper chill haze pour with a small white head, cascade hops aroma , heavy on the hops for a pale ale but i like it. short bitter finish. Peterlemonjelo (31), Birmingham, Alabama, USA May 3, 2009 Had this beer on several occasions, always out of a can. I’m a fan of this beer and would love the opportunity to have on draft.
A - Pours a pretty light amber/golden color. Small thin head but generous lacing down the glass. Lightly carbonated, but certainly not flat-ish.
S - Nice aromas. It would be a brilliantly smelling beer is they aromas popped a little more (hence why I would love on draft with a bigger head/carbonation) but the flavors are very nice. Sweet citrus/floral with some malt/bready smells.
T - Great tasting beer. Hops to malts to bitterness on the finish. Front hop flavors are floral/citrus, followed by malt/bready sweet flavors, and the finish leaves bitterness on the tongue. Excellent flavorful ale.
M - Also, excellent. Full bodied for a Pale Ale making it a pleasure to drink.
D - Very nice beer. With slightly higher carbonation, this Pale Ale would be hard to beat. Always a nice to drink and a very sessionable beer. nbutler11 (729), Phoenix, Arizona, USA May 3, 2009 Can from Papago. Pours a dark orange color with a trim off-white head. Agressive with grapefruit and flour in the aroma. Tastes of each with plenty of salt and sourdough. Much closer to an IPA than a Pale, to me. A great beer with plenty of bite. yobdoog (1426), Woodridge NY, New York, USA Apr 29, 2009 One of my favorite Pales. Bordering a dark IPA almost. Nice dark amber brown and I just love the cans. Aroma is sweet and a little bread and nice crisp hops, pine and citrus. Taste is balanced, some biscuit malts and piney hops and some fruit and citrus. Always good. marcus (1826), Sacramento, California, USA Apr 28, 2009 This copper ale poured with a decent beige head and a floral aroma from the finishing hops. The flavor is pale malt with fair amounts of citrus and hop bitterness.
