Feb 9, 2009 On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a see-through, light amber with a big, foamy, snow white head that dissipates slowly and remains very lacy. More great work by the Flying Saucer. Aroma is more sweet pale malts than hop dominated, but there is some flowery/perfume-like hops in there. Some caramel, but a tad disappointing in aroma overall. The flavor is somewhat better, but still leaves me disappointed. Sweet malty throughout with some caramel and a decent amount of soft hop flavor. The hop taste does increase throughout the sip, which is pretty nice. Finishes slightly floral with a moderate drying bitterness. Palate is smooth, creamy, and full. Pretty nice balance. Overall, I have to admit I’m slightly disappointed, although I still enjoyed this. I guess I was expecting more of a hop bomb (maybe the hype pushed my expectations over the top). Nice palate and decent tasting for a commonly found pale ale. Would make a really nice session beer for sure though. Look forward to trying the bottle version.

Jan 5, 2009 16 oz pour at BWW was a nice golden yellow color with a slight head that laced very well. Slight herbal hop aroma with some bread. A nice pine and herbal hop bitterness, but balanced nicely with the sweetness in the body. No aftertaste. An easy drinking PA.
