Nov 16, 2007 Bottle shared with tupalev, HogTownHarry, blankboy and jerc - tupalev’s bottle. Clear orange-amber. Aroma - yup, Fuggles! Body is on the thin side. Flavour has some soft malt off the top, and quickly moves into the hop-forward realm, but not too aggressive. It’s like a slightly hopped-up UK session ale. Not too bad.

Nov 11, 2007 Pours a dirty light brown with a nice thick off white head that has staying power. Lots of carbonation. Aroma is one of distinct biting hops. There is some fruit to the flavor and just a hint of sweetness but this IPA is quite dry with a deep bitterness. The flavor improved as it warmed so don’t serve it at too low of a temperature. The choice of hops makes this a non standard IPA and it is a decent variation on the theme.

Nov 7, 2007 Has an amber color with a large airy head. Herbal, earthy smell. Light to medium bodied with light carbonation. Decent grainy, yeasty flavor with a medium intense bitterness to finish.
Easy to drink and real thirst quencher just like a glass of cold water. Thats the good, and bad thing about this beer. june 2005

Nov 5, 2007 Basic IPA. Not of the CA hoppy variety. Instead, more akin to Shelter Pale Ale without the refreshing taste. I picked this up as part of a build your own six pack. Not something I’d buy again. Nothing stands out for me. It’s more like a Sam Adams. If nothing else was available, I’d order it.

Nov 3, 2007 Had this beer on 8/19/2003. Aroma is a crisp faint malt scent. Color is bright gold with very good carbonation and thick head. Taste is crisp and bitter. Starting with a light body it goes down with a crisp feel. Finish is a mild mild flavor back by a full bitterness. There is no hop flavor and it could use to be more balanced.

Oct 24, 2007 Pretty good beer, although it poured lighter than i expected. Nice hoppiness to it and not too watery. Good beer but nothing special.

Oct 21, 2007 Ive had many pale ales that have a higher hop profile than this. Drinkable, maybe even enjoyable on the right day. But in the end it is forgetable.

Oct 12, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Pours a pale gold color with a very light, white head. Slight smell of hops, but not like a TRUE IPA. Tastes of very bitter lemon and hops. Very light, smooth mouthfeel. Not bad....
