Smooth medium body with a solid crisp hoppiness. Earthy bitter finish. Somewhat soapy, pale dry malt taste. Good, but not great. esjaygee (1519), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 6, 2009 Speckled haziness wrapped up in an orange to amber body with a thin off-white head that quickly fades away. Aroma of toasted malt, caramel, some citrus and floral hops and dough. A little thin from the get-go with ho-hum flavors of floral and citrus hops balanced out with some bready malt that finishes up mildly bitter. Easy drinking but nothing special.

Flavor has a bread dough, malt flavor and medium bitter hops. Drinkable, and pretty solid for a session pale ale. heemer77 (4303), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 9, 2009 Dark amber, near copper body with an off white head. The nose is a little nutty with dry grassy hops. It’s like diving into a pile of hay The taste is dry and woody with some notes of bread crust. There is also some hint of grapefruit crust. A decent brew, but a little dry overall. awautlet (45), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 5, 2009 Floral hop nose and deep golden in color. Light in body. Floral hop follows through on the palate. Assertive bitterness on the finish.. noncaloric (611), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 29, 2009 Amber-gold pour, modest yellowish head, lots of speckled lacing. Aroma has a lot of grapefruit hops, some floral elements, and a sharp note. Flavor, however, leads with hops bitterness and a somewhat lactic sour note. There’s some honey sweetness and aroma hops that take the edge off it, but I can’t really say I like it. DalzAle (491), Eden Prairie, Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Mar 25, 2009 Bottle. Nice pumpkin gold pour, a little carbonation and light lacing. Crisp, bitter dry hop aroma. Flavor was a bunch of hops, a little citrus and copper. Aftertaste wasn’t the best, but still a very good beer that I enjoyed. I may rerate if it ends up being better on tap. IPAaLLtHEwAY (136), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 16, 2008 Lightly hazed dark golden color with a smaller light beige head. MIld malt aromas intertwine with hopsack aromas. Flavors of earthy malt with some light fruit and a late hops undertone. Light and balanced. After all the extreme IPAs lately this one seems sedate, but is really a fair pale ale.
