Pours amber with a thin white head. Smells breaddy with little else popping out. Some minor hoppy notes are detectable, but otherwise this is a watery mess.

I'm quite sure this sample is dated as the brewery is now under new management, but I proceed. Light citrus and celery aromas. Amber color with a cream colored moderate head. Light feel. Has some of the grainy tastes of a light beer. Somewhat like some of the new light ambers.

Copper color, sticky white head, fair lacing. The aroma is lightly hoppy with some caramel. Light hoppy flavor, fairly mild, caramel malts & light biscuits & dusty hops. Finishes balanced, medium bodied. Thanks Falconseye!

New label. I had this many years ago when Pony Express was under a different company. Now rating the new version. A very thin white head. Very light amber color. Aroma is oranges, bread and some green beans. The taste has a slightly metallic tint with some strong grass and tobacco. Also a weird aftertaste of butter. A decent light pale ale. There are better micros made in KC, as there were many years ago.

On draft at the St Louis Microfest, 5/13/06: Shapr copper aroma with a tan head. Nice tart hop bitterness. I’d drink this again and again.

On tap at the 2006 Best of the Midwest Brewers’ Festival. redish amber in color with a fluffy white head. Light malty aroma is pleasant. Has a good head retention. Looks identical to the Flying Monkey, but tastes much better.

IMHO, slightly below-average pale ale. Some malty-fruitiness, and a little hop flavor/bitterness. Not enough to get my attention; and unfortunately, not very aromatic either. Some bitterness in the finish... which was a little dry, and rather bland. Not totally BAD, but def not GREAT.

This one had some really offensive chalky like bitterness. I don’t know if the bottles I purchased are old, or what, but all the things I have tried from this brewery are terrible. Flavor is a bit metallic, with some light caramel maltiness, and a hint of earthy hops. Yucky
