Feb 17, 2004 Real dry, I was into this beer all that much, slightly below average. Caramel and flowers are in the aroma, decent head.

Jun 16, 2003 I really dug this beer -- this was not a brew that was going to hit it out of the park, but it's a consistant .250 hitter. Light western hop, caramel and crackery ale aroma. Decent 30's style label, ding for the screwoff cap. Handsome Clydesdale auburn brew with off white head. Dry, woody, slightly tannic with an excellent hop balance. Medium-light body -- a true session beer, in true PA form. This demands food.

Jun 14, 2003 Has a fresh floral, hoppy aroma upon opening. Thick marshmallow-like white head that lasts throughout the entire beer. Murky, cloudy brown appearance. Flavor is hoppy but dry and reminds me a bit of a cheap Belgian. High carbonation. Not an altogether bad flavor - just does not feel right with all the carbonation and it is a bit watery which dampens my enthusiasm for this one.

Feb 28, 2003 The most floral aroma I've ever experienced. I swear it was like being in a wholesale flower market. Nice malty sweetness in the flavor. Pretty orange color with a massive (exploded out of the bottle) head.

Oct 11, 2002 A slightly sweet ale that’s almost as good as Stan’s Red Sky Ale, but the bitterness in Whistle Stop makes this beer more of a pale ale than an ale. Enjoyable, but not great. A tad watery?

Oct 4, 2002 Medium golden brown color, medium head. Malty and hoppy somewhat bitter ale. Finish is crisp and hoppy. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
