Pours a clear golden-orange with a good size mostly lasting white head. Nice citrus hops aroma backed with sweet malt and a nice bitter finish-- simple but pleasant. Flavour’s the same: citrus hops with a sweet malt backbone -- tasty stuff. Medium bodied. I must say, for a Pale Ale this is wonderful! Whorst (13), Huntington Beach, California, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 13, 2006 Lovely aroma of citrus and hops. Flavour is grassy with light malt background. A tad dry, but there is some residual sweetness to balance the hops. I loved it. tupalev (2618), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Nice orange citrus and malt aroma. Nice orange citrus taste, lots of malt and earthy organic like hops. Medium mouthfeel. A very nice session APA.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 9, 2006 Bottle (650ml). Shared with blankboy and tupalev, my bottle. Slightly hazy orange with a small foamy white head. Mild, pleasant orange juice and mild hop aroma - simple. Simple taste too - orange juice, hops, mild alcohol, slightly woody - well-blended and nicely bitter in the medium finish. Perhaps a little weak bodied, but nice astringency, mild carbonation - just a solid session APA. crzybob77 (528), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 6, 2006 Not a spectacular ale, but certainly quite solid and enjoyable. I wouldnt complain drinkin one of these. Had a very balanced hop flavor that went down well but certainly was not missed. undsioux7 (561), Cologne, Minnesota, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 6, 2006 Pours a nice amber/orange with a small white head. Aroma is citris and floral with the hops hammering your nose. Taste is the same, but with a hop bomb going off right in the back of your pallete. This is a very strong aroma/taste APA like 3F Alpha King where the malts are almost non existent. Good stuff. Sorry GRIM, I couldn’t wait!! realale420 (399), west covina, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 29, 2006 22oz bottle pours golden/amber with a nice white head. Aromas of nice resiny hops and a good carmel malt backbone. Nicely balanced bitterness along with a big malt presence and a good hoppy finish that lingers, definitely can’t taste the 6.2%ABV. Overall a great example of an American Pale. BeerandBlues2 (3230), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 28, 2006 Pours amber-bronze with a small patchy off-white head, lasting, and some faint lacing. Aroma is floral and fruity (citrus) pine hop, yeast (barn), malt (grain, meal), grassy, straw, caramel and alchohol notes. Moderately bitter, medium acidity, malt and yeast body, earthy hay and grass notes, bitter citrus and pine hops, alcohol is noticeable at the end. Medium bodied and spicy, fizzy palate.
