| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 20, 2009 Cooper color pour with 3 finger head which left good lacing througout. aroma - didnt pick up too much here, got a faint smell of earthy hops. taste..eh..just okay, not real balanced for a Pale Ale, a little to much hop bitterness, In my opinion. Just felt like it was missing something, it had just a touch of sweetness, but it wasnt balanced enough for me.
Overall this was just okay, but as a Pale Ale, I was a bit dissapointed. I dont think I would drink more than one of these at a time. SNPA is much superior to this one. emacgee (1881), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 16, 2009 Pours a translucent copper orange with a one finger foamy head. Nice looking. The nose shows a nice hop presence, fresh earthy herbal hops, a little bit of pine, some background sweetness. The flavor shows more of the malt, has an English feel, bready, some hop bitterness, piney and waxy, some problems in the flavor. palate has a nice bitterness but has more of a waxy character than I would like.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 6, 2009 12oz bottle from ericandersnavy. This is my first OK rating. Pours orange with a bright white head. Nose is sweet and lightly hopped. Taste is sweet and somewhat bitter with a decent balance of hops and malts. Doesn’t quite hit the mark but it isn’t terrible. milljam (569), Norman, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 21, 2009 I was quite impressed with this pale ale. Aroma is nicely balanced between notes of citrus and caramel malts. Flavor is citrus initially, with a nice nutty, biscuit backbone. Finish is smooth and dry, with mild bitterness. For the flavor, abv and price, you can’t get a better deal than this. ilovedarkbeer (1365), Dallas, Texas, USA
