| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 22, 2007 Draught at Hop Leaf, Chicago Golden color; creamy head. The aroma is lightly hoppy and fruity. The mouthfeel is not strong, there is some malt sweetness, and some nice aromatic hopping. Pleasant, but simple. hopdog (5607), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 30, 2006 12oz bottle acquired in trade with brewblackhole (thanks!). Poured a lighter and clear orange / amber color with a larger sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, caramel, and lightly floral. Tastes of caramel, toasted malts, and citrus. Thinner body.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 8, 2008 Objectively speaking:
A soft and globally dull pale ale
I like:
Cheaply priced at 4$ a pint at Delilah’s. Easy to drink, but perhaps not as fun as some.
I dislike:
Does not give me the desire to try the brewery’s other offerings. Maltiness is limited to bland breadiness. Flowery, simplistic hops. Is there really cascade in there? It lacks any sharpness or freshness, no citrus felt. Lacking toasty development. Very light-bodied.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 27, 2005 Pours a still, transparent copper amber with a thin-lacing white head. Aroma of nice fresh, piney cascade hops and some mild crystal malt. Body starts with a light caramel sweetness, some nicely balancing fresh piney hops and a hint of citrus. A decent APA but could use some more malt and hops. I’m glad to see Point trying some new styles. Cornfield (4963), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 31, 2004 This pours a light reddish-amber with a thin head and some light but steady carbonation. The aroma is a caramel malt with some floral and piney hopping. The taste is a good balance betwween the malt and hops. Nice dry, bitter finish. Nothing great, but a decent drink.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 19, 2004 Dark golden color with a moderate cream colored head. Resin and light sweet malt aroams. Touch of perfume and grapefruit. Pure cascade flavors start. Quite light and swift across the tongue. Malt comes mid to late quaff. Pinewood and light caramel. Touch of alcohol flavor. A decent pale.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 22, 2005 Bottle. Clear dark amber with an average frothy off-white head that diminished slowly. Good hoopy pine aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Well balanced hoppy flavor with a moderate bitter finish. Above average brew. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 27, 2007 Bottle from Capone’s. Dark straw pour with smallish head. Aroma is bready caramel malt, Cascadey dry hops, lemongrass, mild black peppery notes. Tastes very dry hoppy, with too much of a hop bill to match the malt bill. Another average beer. Nothing was really offensive here, but nothing really stood out either.
