| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 26, 2009 Bottle, courtesy someone. Copper clear pour, white thin head, and smooth lacing. Nose has some dry chocolate notes, spices, and slight hops. Slight dry caramel maltiness, dry grain, and slight chocolate. So where are the hops? Medium-bodied, balanced, but boring.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 22, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours copper red with a frothy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is subdued - caramel malts, some melon and tropical fruits and spices and a hint of pine.
The flavor is caramel malts and tropical fruit with a decent grassy bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with sharp carbonation.
Overall, it has good bitterness for a pale ale, but would be a pretty mediocre IPA. waolsen (1222), Littleton, Colorado, USA

Nice heavy orange color, transparent, bubbly, and has a foamy head. It has a nice hoppy smell, floral, pine, good. The flavor is a seriously hoppy pale ale. the smell made me think it might taste like an IPA but it is more like a hoppy pale ale. This was a good beer.
