Draft pint at the brewpub. Amber beer with just a thin top. Tangy, with a metallic hop, and a light caramel flourish. Sessionable, surely. (#3419, 4/12/2008)

Got a taste from the tap at Rubicon. This brew was decidedly weak and uncomplex. There was some thought that it tasted lagerish, although had the characteristics of a Pale. Overall, it was a mild version of what I expect from the genre.

On tap at Hamilton’s in San Diego, CA--Copper-amber body with a scant white head. Biscuity malt nose with evidence of mild bitter hops. Slight metallic presence. Crisp, mildly oxidized. Nothing special but worth a try.

Fairly average Pale Ale. Light, malty, bready flavor. The nose is classic brewers yeast. There is a nice bite in the aftertaste though, so its not a total loss.

On tap at the brewpub in Sacramento. In the glass this was the color of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, which is kind of a copper tint. Laid up a nice white head and decent lacing. Nose is malts and citrus hops. Medium mouthfeel and a flavor that is dominated by the hops. Long bitter finish. A good APA.
