Exceptionally sweet-hopped body--and perfect on the palate for a pale ale--having superb balance and overall qualities. This beer definitely held my interest and will make a great summer session beer. The best pale ale I have experienced to date. Dragonblaze99 (349), Greater London, England
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 15, 2002 Opens with a nice, astringent hoppiness. The middle is more malty, but the aromatic hoppines tones it well. Finishes almost sweet and warming. A very enjoyable ale. pauliefrog99 (302), FLINT, Michigan, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 9, 2003 This is a very nice APA. Cloudy dark amber with a miniscule-bubbled lacey head. Deep, rich toffee-like amber malt aroma wafts out of the glass. Taste is similar; very sweet, but a nice hoppy bitter ending. But, the emphasis here is definitely on the malts. Very well done, and underrated IMO. jcwattsrugger (5583), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 27, 2007 12oz bottle-pours a foamy off white head and gold color. Aroma is citrus-light/medium hops. Taste is citrus-light/medium hops-bitter, secondary medium malt-caramel. Easy drinking. OK carbonation. PhillyBeer2112 (2093), Orange Park, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 26, 2002 Rerate (bottle; replacing a festival tasting): Cloudy amber light-brown, large creamy beige head. Light citrus and earthy aroma with light malt. Sweet with light caramel up front, mild spicy bitterness, earthy finish. Smooth with light carbonation, almost British feel - with maybe a hint of fruit. Gusler (2655), Tucson, Arizona, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 3, 2001 Nice deep amber color, fair head and decent lace, malt sweet and somewhat floral nose. Medium body, sweet malt start, full top and a moderate hop spiciness at the finish. Clean and freash as most of SP beer tend to be, not a world beater, but a decent Pale Ale none the less.
