Jul 29, 2008 12 oz bottle. Poured a cloudy golden color, significant off-white head. Aroma was slightly hoppy, some citrus notes. Flavor was mediocre, it was somewhat hoppy but not enough for me. Quite a bit of malt flavor, which seemed unbalanced for an APA. Not terrible, but I wouldn’t try it again.

Jul 20, 2008 This beer appears cloudy with malty/ hoppy aroma. I was expecting some bitterness, but that was absent. It has a nice, clean, somewhat fruity tart flavor that reminded me of grapefruit. Finishes well. Would try again.

Jun 22, 2008 12 oz. bottle, labeled “Svea Lilja’s Pulling Boat Pale Ale.” Aroma of honey, sweet cream, apricot, apple, butter, and pomegranate. Pours a hazy, effervescent dark gold with a small amount of beige head. Yeasty, hops-dominated, fruity taste. Cream, pear, apricot, melon, and red apple flavors. Crisp finish. Light to medium body. Lively on the palate. Refreshing. Pulling Boat Pale Ale is an interesting beer, and I had a tough time putting my finger on some of the flavors. It makes for a solid summer refresher.

May 12, 2008 This brew pours a light golden colour with a medium sized white head. aromas of faint pine and soft hops. A little unbalanced in my opinion, sweeter then normal for an APA.

May 6, 2008 Picked up a single 12-oz bottle from Three Cellars in St Francis, Wisconsin. Pours a hazy orange/amber brew with a thick and lumpy off-white head that has some thick retention and spotty lacing. Aroma of light caramel malt, some citrus zest, lemon juice, a touch of toffee and pear skin. Taste is medium bodied with more carbonation to fizz yer inners. Flavor of sour pear, some caramel malt, lemon zest and orange peel. Finish is slightly sour, fizzy with a distinct metallic aftertaste.
