| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 27, 2008 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Clear copper with nice head and lace. Honey sweet aroma with mild lemon and soap, very much like a pale lager. Medium honey sweetness with mild toastiness and slight apricot fruitness. Very mild bitterness. Lingering sweet finish. Medium-light body and medium-low carbo. Tastes like a well-made and very fresh. But tastes more like a pale lager than a pale ale. Lacks the fruity spicy bitterness of an ale. As it warms up, though, it gains a lot more ale-like character, bitterness and complexity. Pretty good, but definitely let it warm up. gunhaver (1025), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 12, 2008 Updated: Jun 4, 2008On draft at Oldsmar Tap House. Poured a murky mango color. Very thick, creamy white head, and very creamy lacing. Malty corn aromas, with a slight hop profile. Definitely an English ale. Slight acidic hop undertones, big malty body, some citrus. Decent flavor. Fully body, quite drinkable. Watery finish. Enjoyable. FleeVT (40), Boca Raton, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 12, 2008 22oz Bomber with no date, poured into a pint glass. It pours a clear burnt yellow with a nice size head. There is mild carbonation action after the initial pour. Floral sweetness on the nose with a faint hint of hops. Something else there that I can’t place my finger on.
The flavors are quick to the palate and leave a nice dry finish. Bitters from the hops dominate. I was surprised that this was only 4.9 ABV as it was almost like the bitterness was trying to hide the alcohol. It’s a medium to light bodied ale with moderate carbonation.
A bit bitter for my liking, otherwise I’d call it a session. Definitely worth a try. I’d pair it with with anything grilled on a summer day. Pastor (509), Maine, USA

Aromas of yeast (yes Ringwood) light hops and mats
Flavors of hops and sweet malt, I like this one wish they had it at the shipyard brewpub (lol) down the street
Nice light mouthfeel crisp carbonation
Very drinkable good session beer

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 2, 2008 12 oz bottle, moderate head. Very heavily hopped aroma and taste. Average palate. Didnt really get a chance to savor this one but it seemed to be a quality drink and one I would recommend. BorksBabe (81), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 21, 2008 The aroma is very hoppy and sweet. Very pretty dark amber color. Flavor isn’t too hoppy-- slightly bitter with a nice smooth finish. Good pale ale. DuffMan (2751), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 10, 2008 Clear amber, big cream coloured haed with excellent retention, leaving chunky lace down the glass. Interesting aroma, almost perfumey, ginger spice, caramel, and subtle stone fruits. Full-bodied malt-forward palate with a moderately resinous hop finish. I really liked this one as a bit of a different take on a style that often comes across as a dumbed-down cascade-laden IPA. SuperDave70 (1157), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA
