| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 29, 2009 Pours slightly hazy amber with a nice frothy 2-finger head that settled to a cirrus-cloud like film and left nice lacing. Floral hops aromas accompanied solid malts and a hint of freshly cut wood. moderately sharp hops up front on the palate with a generous helping of bread-like maltiness and a touch of caramel and butter. Silky, almost oily mouthfeel, moderately carbonated, and a great bitter hops aftertaste. A classic.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 28, 2009 Bottle. 12 oz. Pours murky orangish-amber with a thick, but quickly receding off-white head. Aroma of caramel, grapes, apple, yeast, barley, dry hops, and vanilla. Body is outrageously smooth and refreshing; full, yet not overwhelming. Mouthfeel is slightly sticky, but still clean. Finishes slowly with a bit of tart which lingers on the tongue for awhile. Excellent pale ale. FortyFirkins (27), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 27, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a color of amber and honey with a thin head and a nice, webbed lacing. Malty nose with toasted bread and sugars. Big hops in the taste but does not overpower notes of caramel and citrus. Slightly bitter mouth feel, though entirely expected for the style. Very nice pale ale. yesyouam (609), Fairport, New York, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 1, 2009 RnH: pint: Embarassed to say I intended this brew to be a palate cleanser during a tasting session... great surprise! A darker, more rich pour than expected, deep amber, leaving about .5 finger of off-white head. The nose was more bitter than expected, medium sweaty hops... also some light citrus/ sour notes. Taste also has a similar balance, higher hop content than I expected from the style (nice surprise again), offset with the citrus and sugars. Easily sessionable brew, very satisfying.
