Bottle. Poured a clear pale golden, with a small white head. Aroma of citrus hops, with lemon & orange coming through. Some light sweet malt in there as well. Taset is similarly straight forward, with the hops hitting early and in the finish, plenty of citrus and a sweet malt backing. Mouth is medium. Overall, a nice basic APA.

Dec 7, 2009 Fresh baked bread anyone indeed. Decent brew. Must admit I prefer the Sierra version more and its cheaper, still very drinkable.

Dec 4, 2009 12oz bottle from ABC Liquor. Copper pour with thin off-white head and a light sheet of sudsy stick. Citrus hop aroma with a yeasty quality to it. Grassy hop bitterness in the taste balanced by an earthy malt sweetness. Slightly watery palate and low carbonation keep the focus on the bitterness through to the dry finish.

Nov 29, 2009 Hoppy and citrusy more like an IPA to me which is probably why I like it so much. Although maybe all english pale ale’s are similar. Very refreshing and tasty

Nov 28, 2009 (12 ounce bottle) Smuttynose has a good looking bottle. Pours a dense but small head, has great head retention though which leads to a nice lacing. Hoppy aroma with notes of pepper and citrus. Crisp hoppy taste. Carbonation is there though not at all overpowering, light crisp finish. 5% ABV makes this a good session beer.

Nov 23, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a hazy copper color with a fine head of white foam that leaves a good amount of lace. Grain and malty sweetness and a touch of floral hops make the aroma. Great flavor balance goes from a citrus hop flavor to full sweet maltiness and finishes with a drying hop bitterness. A decent Smutty.

Nov 23, 2009 a nice pale ale, however, the problem with pale ales in general for an IPA drinker is a lack of overall taste and flavor or body. this is a good example of that. nice refreshing PA taste and crisp palate, but it leaves you wanting more body.

Nov 8, 2009 This one poured a nice copper color with a white head. Aroma was slightly grassy, a bit sweet and some herbal and citrus musty hops too. Flavor was light crisp pale ale, nice balance if slightly bitter hops and pale malt.

Nov 7, 2009 12oz bottle. Your basic pale ale here. Very drinkable, nice caramel taste with just enough hops. Very well done though nothing out of the ordinary for this style.
