Pastor (509), Maine, USA Mar 7, 2008 22 oz bomber poured onto my pint glass produced a good two fingers worth of head on top of a clear copper body
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
rugbydude05 (280), Kew Gardens, New York, USA 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 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 (2719), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada 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 Feb 8, 2008 Pours a deep gold with a small, but creamy white head. Aromas of malt and hops with a touch of citrus peel. Flavor is malt and nuts, with a sweeter fruity hop finish. A good beer. shackinetics (132), Florida, USA Jan 22, 2008 pours amber with 1 finger white head. Herbs and lemon with sweet malt aroma and taste with a touch of skunk. Smooth and watery with an herb after taste. Low on alcohol content as well. Nothing noteworthy, wouldn’t try it again. Bockyhorsey (2487), Mesa, Arizona, USA Jan 10, 2008 12oz bottle best before Mar 08. Sweet mals along with some corn for aroma. Gold body with white head. Flavor was just an avereage pale ale with decent sweet malt and some hops. Alright on the palate but the malt was more dominate and somewhat had a stale aftertaste. gsmitty80 (628), Washington DC, USA Jan 10, 2008 Pours a golden yellow with a thick off white head that retains pretty well. Traces of yeast sediment in the beer which gives it a low rating and the description does not read unfiltered. Smell is very weak and is pretty indicative of the weak hops used to make it. On one hand it is low in hops but it is smooth in malts and taste.
