Very nice. It wasn't quite as hoppy as the City Pale Ale I compared it with, but there was more "heft" to the body of Rattlesnake. Medium amber color with a decent head on initial pour from the bottle. Quite malty with fairly subtle hop ov

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.

Sampled from bottle, a gift frm Dansting. Pours cloudy orange-copper with a mountainous off-white head. Aroma is pleasantly hoppy (floral and citrus). Slightly bitter with a clean finish. Light hops meld nicely with a decent pale malt backbone. Medium-bodied and moderately carbonated. A very enjoyable pale ale.

Good dark golden color,small white head that faded fast and left little behind. Good hoppy citrus aroma with a mild malt and maybe a little bit of a pine note coming through as well.Nice mild hops up front with a mild grapefruit and mild malty taste.The brew is pretty smooth from start to finish with just a light bitterness at the tail end.Not bad at all and a decent summer brew for sure.Thanks go to Falconseye for sending this brew my way.

Golden yellow in my pilsner glass with a nice fluffy off-white head. Soft body, maybe a little thin. Light peppery hop finish. Not very interesting, but nothing to detract from a solid, easy drinkin' beer.

Reminded me more of an English Pale than an APA, I still enjoyed this one for what it was. Poured an amber/golden color, thick khaki head that lasts due to the (overly) high carbonation. Smells fruity and grainy, somewhat like a very very weak belgian. Palate is moderately smooth. Flavor isinitially fruity, mellows into malts, a hint of hop, and ends fruity. I would not say this beer is bad, and perhaps would be very good if I wasn't expecting a more commmon APA flavor.

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!

Definitely hoppy. Nice flavor. It’s not the best APA I’ve had, but its very good.
