Mar 23, 2006 Had this as a bottle at the 9:30 Club with two Newcastles to wit beforehand as Alexandria Pale Ale. The hops hit me first, but wasn’t as bitter as I expected. Somewhat sweet as well, which was surprising given previous experiences. Still pretty drinkable, even for 6.2% it didn’t hit too hard. (Bottle 3/21/2006)

Nov 18, 2005 Typical American micro pale ale; too hoppy. This one has the added distraction of being a bit syrupy. Still, drinkable.

Aug 21, 2005 Copper color that is a bit cloudy with a thin head and modest lacing. Citrusy hop aroma with a touch of spice. Medium-bodied, moderately carbonated but lacking the punch to make it more than mediocre.

May 12, 2005 Bottle: Hazy amber with a medium white head that fades to a ring. Aroma is diacetyl, floral/citrus hops, caramel. Medium bodied, light carbonation. Taste is diacetyl, caramel, grass, grains, and light rubber notes.

Aug 31, 2004 Updated: Nov 12, 2005Appearance is medium brown- not quite that of a brown ale, but seems darker than most pale ales. There’s a medium hoppiness in the nose, and the flavor is quite hoppy and slightly citrusy. Feels nice in the mouth.
ADDITION: SAMPLED THIS AGAIN THIS EVENING under the name "Alexandria Ale." I’m beginning to think that there are two quite different beers, because the cottle I sampled this evening was awful... a LOT of melted plasticlike flavor and aroma. I had to pour it out.

Jun 27, 2004 On tap at Dominion Brewfest. Pours an amber color with an off white head. Aroma is malty and floral. The taste didn’t agree with me; metallic with hops and citrus notes. Not hoppy enough for an American Pale. Odd aftertaste.

May 26, 2004 Sweet biscuit malt nose. Clean fruity and well made. Spicy hop finish (English?) Not an overly exciting beer, but very enjoyable.

Feb 13, 2004 Pretty decent actually. Copper color with a slim head. Some malt/hops in the aroma. Different taste then I expected. More floral...citrusy. Medium bodied, some hops in the flavor. Pretty smooth. Overall a pretty decent Pale Ale!
