Commercial Description:
This is a true American Pale Ale; well balanced malt to hop flavor.

There is a slight caramel flavor up front derived from German Munich malts, followed by a citrus/grapefruit flavor derived from Cascade hops with a peppery flavor bite on the back of the throat.

Medium orange amber color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is big biscuty malts and brown sugar. A medium bodied American Pale Ale. Malts are fruity, caramel and sweet. Hops are piney and herbal. Lots of earthy flavors. Kind of not to style for a APA, it peaty and malty more like a scottish ale. Still a nice beer and the malts shine out. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Clear amber out of the bottle with a quickly dissapating off-white head. Malty pine nose. Well balanced beer with apple, peach and raspberry fruit notes that trail into a citrus bitterness and finally an odd metalic lingering finish. Good beer. Thanks Eric.

More sweet than pale. Very good taste. Beautiful colour but not much of a head.

amber copper. thin head. a little bit sour, a bit floral. a little bit of a smooth buttery thing going on. something else i cannot get, probably with the buttery thing. not great, but very enjoyable. thanks to tannertavernboy. EDIT: had a few sips at the birthday party i mentioned in my fishtale poseidon review, this tastes offensive after grape faygo.

For those who find most pales overly hopped, this brew might be just what you’re looking for. Agreeable, mild flavor; small, disappointing head and activity. Very mild, albeit rich, soft flavor. Notably little hops’ bitterness. Lack of complexity and definitive character relegate this brew to the grocery store class. Decent if you’re not looking to spend a lot and want something that’s sure not to offend anyone at your gathering.

Deep amber with an orange hue and a thin head. Soft malts. Slight sourness. Flowery, herbal hops. Low to medium carbonation. Finishes with a sour herbalness. Not too bad though. Strange, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Clear medium oragne. British malt-syrup aroma. Lightly hoppy, some pine and scotch. Nutty flavor with an even palate with some slight hop bitterness in the finish. An above average APA. Thanks to TannerTavernboys for the trade.

Aroma of sweetness, all-purpose fuit, and hoppiness. Some Britishesque smells i.e. brown ale. Nice amber color. Flavor is sweet up front, nicely nutty in the middle iwth a sweet, slightly hoppy finish.
