fredandboboflo (440), East Setauket, New York, USA Jun 22, 2008 On tap. Aroma of bready malt, whole grain cracker, light citrus hops. Flavor gets hoppier, more citrus, some pine, breadier. Strong hop finish. Nice stuff.
ChainGangGuy (1511), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Aug 20, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, dark copper body with a frothy, white head that left bits of splotchy lacing on the way down.
Smell: Toasty pale maltiness with a small hint of caramel. Citrusy, woody, even slightly spicy hops.
Taste: Pale malts, lightly toasty, and with a slight caramel sweetness. Sharp, citrusy hops with a moderate, unyielding bitterness. Finishes crisp and appropriately dry with a long, lingering, but restrained bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Sure, I’ll give it a thumbs up. A very solid, spot-on APA. smjohnst (111), , Pennsylvania, USA Aug 17, 2008 I agreed with the previous review. I am big on pale ales but there is something about stoudts stuff that just tastes funky. too strong for just pale ale. Steinface (63), Hatfield, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 16, 2008 Overwhelming hops. I am one for pale ales, but for me this was just not enjoyable. afireinside96 (390), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 14, 2008 12oz bottle served in a Duvel tulip. Light amber body with a nice off-white head. Sweet caramel and pineapple aroma. Bready, sweet citrus flavor. Despite the sweetness the mouthfeel is very smooth, not sticky at all. Finishes very clean. A very good pale ale. Things like this make me glad that I live in Central Pennsylvania surrounded by great craft breweries. DrDavid (117), , Vermont, USA Aug 11, 2008 (Bottle). Sweet malty aroma. Bronze gold in color, with a thin white head. Mild and pleasing fruity flavor, citrus and pineapple. Very much like a mild IPA, without the bitter kick. Highly drinkable.
