Sep 28, 2006 An above average, quality pale. Falls in with a large group of tasty ales that really don’t distinguish themselves from each other. A nice balance of hops and flavor. I had one of these after a Bass Pale and this one is a much truer tasting pale. There were no negatives with the Shoals.

Sep 8, 2006 Pours reddish copper with frothy off-white head. Nicely carbonated and inviting. The nose is sweet and hoppy. The beer taste mostly bitter to me from start to a lingering finish. Crisp on the palate.

Aug 31, 2006 12 oz bottle. Clear brown with a frothy oatmeal head. Gets craggy. Woody with a touch of brown sugar. Bitter orange and grapefruit pith. Juicy finish. Grows on you. Light carb. Body gives just enough to chew on.

Aug 22, 2006 Chalky mineral taste with little hops. I love pale ale Smuttynose IPA so had high hopes for this. Unfortunately Shoals was barren, thin, and dreary just like the landscape on the label.

Aug 20, 2006 bottle - This beer has a light amber pour with a moderate head. Quality hops make for a pleasant aroma. It tastes moderately hoppy with well balanced caramel malts. The finish is bitter and seems a touch off. This is pretty good.

Aug 20, 2006 Bottle. Pale amber look with decent head. Good taste that has a slight spice to it. Very smooth but not a great ale. Decent.
