Mar 3, 2007 Bottle. Aroma of malt, yeast, a little hops. I agree with alexanderj on the metallic hop taste. Almost no initial flavor, followed by mild bitterness and then more metallic hop bitterness. Not very good.

Mar 2, 2007 Poured a clear golden-orange. Aroma of caramel malt; citrus hops, and a little pine. I normally don’t pick up on a metallic hops taste, but did here. Flavor is mostly thin and hoppy. Lacked a malt balance; no sweetness. Dry; bland. Not very good for the style.

Feb 18, 2007 Bottle (Wayyy overpriced in Birmingham). This pale ale is a cloudy gold with a very dense, mountainous head that fades after a minute or two. The aroma is piny with sweet caramel and hints of dough, though a slight whiff of something rubbery comes though as well. The flavor is pretty much just hops with an accompaniment of metallic notes. Hints of wood and a dry, grassy, semi-sour taste are also noted. The sweetness in this brew is quite subdued. This didn’t do it for me as a pale ale. I thought it tasted a bit unclean. I can’t tell if this was just a bad bottle because this is my first taste of the brew, but it doesn’t really seem infected either. Maybe if I can get it again from another source I will be able to really make a decision on my opinion on the beer.

Jan 11, 2007 pours a hazy gold/amber with an ok head that laces well. nose of familiar west coast hops - pine, some lemony citrus. cascade? flavor is very dry - a very light malt up front quickly washed away by a decent little hop kick. really easy to drink - probably perfect for the Atlanta weather.

Dec 28, 2006 Bottle. Pretty standard fare. I really enjoy pale ales, but this one didn’t seem to pack any sort of noticable flavor punch.

Dec 7, 2006 Bottle. Poured a hazy light amber with a tall off-white head. The aroma was hoppy with a fruit background. The flavor found lemon, fruits, and a hint of wood and roast as it warmed. Sweet beginning and a bitter end. Light to medium body.
