| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 8, 2007 Pours a deep golden color with minimal head. Aroma of hops and mild fruits. Flavor was malt, banana bread, caramel and bitter hops. Well balanced, I liked the way the hops were present throughout, even with the big malt taste. Enjoyable brew.

Crystal clear visibilty through a gold ale. Some foaming at the top fo the beer. The flavor is rather bland with only minor notes of a euro hop and semi sweet malt. elmatador00 (518), j-action-ville, North Carolina, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jan 20, 2007 Bottle Pours a slightly hazy deep golden witha nice white head that sticks around, coating the glas with thin sheets of lacing. Aroma is slightly papery, light malts, a bit lemony. Flavor is basic malty pale ale, I supose I can detect the "American Cascade" hops in there, but admittedly not untill after I read about it. Noting special, but managed to finish the "1pt .9 oz" on the wierd Brit bottle.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 17, 2007 Bottle. Hmm the brewer makes it sound really hoppy in his description but it is far from it. It is ok with malts and a bit of toffee but it is very subdued on the hops.
Pours with a copper color and not much of a head. A bit on the thin side as well, so all in all an average beer, nothing to go gaga over. bb (2930), Martinez, California, USA
