Oct 4, 2008 Pours a light amber yeast-hazy color with thin white head. Fresh aroma with citrus and some sweet fruitiness. Refreshing flavor with citrus and a light grapefruit hop-bitter finish.

Oct 2, 2008 Decent piney hop aroma, not very strong. The color is amber, white head. This is typical for the pale ale style. The flavor is of caramel malts, and a gentle hop balance. The finish is a light touch of citrus hops. Perfectly ok, middle of the road pale ale. A bit watery.

Oct 2, 2008 A nice pale amber, hoppy, quenching beer. It’s a pleasant enough pale ale, but it doesn’t really stand up against other beers. NZ’s Epic Pale Ale is a beeter American Pale Ale than this beer which once defined the style! That said, there’s really nothing wrong with it, it just lacks a bit of complexity.

Oct 1, 2008 clear lightamber with white head. nicely hoppy and spicy. nothing special. This really is overrated.. don’t get it. quite normal pale ale, not even close to the ten best pale ales I’ve drunk.

Sep 30, 2008 OVERRATED!
This is a really boring pale ale, ya’ll. 37 IBU’s tasted like 15 IBUs. The hops were very bland and unremarkable. It just tasted like HOP WATER to me. I don’t get the hype. Sure, it wasn’t bad, when you compare to other stuff in it’s price/availability range, but come on. It’s not at all worth 3.61, 90th % overall.
Seriously, drink a FFF Alpha King next to this and then tell me this is worth 3.6...
