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.

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.

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.

Received a single 12-oz bottle from oetiii in Antigo, WIsconsin. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a thick off-white and lumpy head that has some good retention and spotty lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, some ice tea, orange zest and a touch of Ivory soap. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of semi-sweet caramel malt, dried pears and apples, with a light herb hops flavor. Finish is a good balance of dryness and fruity character with a light bitterness in the background.

22oz bottle-An amber body with a nice white head and an aroma of malt and slight hops. Taste fairly weak in the hops but it is an English Pale Ale. Not very impressed.

Bottle... Poured orange with a white head. Spicy hop aroma. Soapy hops up front with a caramel-malt balance, kind of a grainy, bread-like presence as well which gives it some depth. This pale ale is hoppier than their IPA.
