Bottle, Duvel tulip, cellar temp. Best before Jan ’08. Clear reddish copper. Big fast white head, poor lacing. Aromas are malty, herbal, piney. Light to medium body, thin texture. Sweet malty flavor, dry bitter finish. There was a metallic quality which ruined it for me.

Something of a malt aroma with citrus hop, but it leaves something of a floral impression? Very light amber color with a decently frothy near-white head. It did some lacing. Starts with a slight sour, perhaps medicinal, characteristic, reminiscent of some Siletz products, but not so strong. Definitely malt, and the finish seems decently bitter. Relatively dry. Seems a bit thin, but it’s nicely drinkable.

Bomber. $2.49 at Broudy’s. Pours orange-amber with a small off-white head that doesn’t last long. Malty aroma. Flavor is sort of a malt bomb with English hops. A bit of resinous puckering astringency. Interesting hop flavor buried in the malt. Notes of caramel and butterscotch. Slightly crisp on the finish. I liked it, found it drinkable and enjoyable.

From a 22 oz bottle this poured a nice clear copper to amber color and produced a big foamy head teh left moderate lacing in the glass. The is a malty nose, with at touch of caramel, citrus and pine hops. Mouthfeel is very smooth with very little carbonation. Flavors are malts and hops, with a little citrus. Finish is slightly sour, which adds an interesting touch. A pale ales go, this is a pretty good one.

12oz bottle pours amber with a pretty nice fluffy white head that has the aromas of toffee, caramel, and slight orange. Flavor is toffee, caramel, orange, and a little grapefruit. Palate is light crisp and clean. Slightly sweet at the finish.

Bottle... Clear amber ale with a large, fluffy, white head. Excellent, tight retention. The soapy, biscuity nose offers notes of pale malts, biscuit and caramel. The flavor is of pale, biscuity malt and a nice, crisp, hop kick. A touch grainy with a mild note of butterscotch. Medium-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and intermediate carbonation. Mid-length, sticky-sweet finish.

Sampled in California suprisingly. Very nice and smooth beer. Aroma and appearance are just tame and kind of light. However the beer drinks really well and has a suprising flavor that is rich and lasting. A nice choice.

Bottle. Clear amble with a medium head. Very toffeeish and caramelly malt character, and notes of pine and citrus from the hops. A bit watery and thin. Bitter finish.
