Apr 19, 2009 On draft aft MacGregor’s. Dark golden, light white head, spotty head, thick lacing. Grapefruity aroma, and palate. Decent but a bit unimaginative. Like a light IPA, lacking the maltiness of an American Pale.

Apr 19, 2009 On tap at Mahars. Flavor is ok, not too strong. Pours an amber color with no real good qualities.

Apr 18, 2009 Draft at Coles in Buffalo NY. Pours orange amber with a thin white head. Light hoppy aroma with hints of sweet malt. The flavor is floral hoppy with light citric notes and a light hoppy sweetness. Nothing really exciting. An average APA.

Apr 18, 2009 Tap at Waterfront Ale House (30th & 2nd location): Pours a clear golden with an off white head (well retained). Candied citrus notes in the aroma with a light caramel/doughy pale malt back and lots of perfumy/herbaceous berry hop notes. A bit thin and overly carbonated for my liking. Has a perfumy and berryish hop character in the flavor as well (crystal seems similar to target hops). A light caramel sweetness hold up the herbaceous and perfumy hop character. Simple and less impressive than other Pale Ale/IPA products from a brewer of reputable hop usage.

Apr 1, 2009 On tap at Coles Buffalo NY. Part of the Hop Project 2009. Pours a light amber. Citrusy hop aroma with notes of caramel sweetness. Taste is medium to mild hops, floral, notes of grapefruit. An APA with training wheels.

Mar 29, 2009 Draught at Bar Great Harry. Amber color with a frothy off-white head, leaving spots of lacing. Floral citrus aroma with a bit of apple skin. Flavor of mostly clean light caramel malt with some grainy notes and a spicy, herbal and citrus hop backing. Mildly spicy bitter hop finish. Nice balance here. Pretty good overall.
BREWMUSKCLES (1062), New Jersey, USA
Mar 25, 2009 a nice pale with good fruit flavor and hop profile. light dark/dank sweetness the hop flavor is a bit more mellow than normal for a U.S. pale but still flavorful and substantial in body. refreshing none te less with a peppery component though not really spicy to my taste. on the fair line and subsequently interesting.looks pretty good.

Feb 28, 2009 On tap at the Peekskill Brewery. Pours a clear golden amber with a small white head. Aromas of sweet pineapple, baking apples and light citrus fruits, with lots of citrus and hop notes. Medium mouth feel and full of malt. Finishes with a nice crisp grapefruit bitter. Had the Boadicea a couple weeks back… this one is much nicer.
