| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 22, 2008 Light golden color with different copper hinge. Minimal head. Hoppy with bits of sugar. Bits of lemon and citrus flavor. Not overly amazing. Pretty solid though. I had two of them on tap. phishpond417 (1953), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 13, 2008 Awesome tasting brew. Exactly what I was hoping it would be. Medium bodied, amber/light brown colour with a soft sweet head. Well integrated hop flavor, smooth touch of floral and piney aromas. Citrusy at times with a long lingering hop finish. nick76 (2675), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 13, 2008 This one smells less like 420 than the road trip. It does have lots of grassy hops along with lightly toasted malt and caramel. The appearance is almost amber gold with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma and quite drinkable. The palate is average. Overall it’s fine without being great. lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA

Pours a clear orangish amber with a light whitish head. Smell is more whole grain unmalted barley than anything, along with some mild hops. Interesting.
Taste is unusual again with raw barley flavor and somewhat faint hop flavor and mild bitterness. Slightly fruity flavor, but very raw grain like. Not bad, just very unusual and unexpected. Somewhat full mouthfeel and slightly rich. Interesting beer.
Rerate of it fresh on tap was quite better. Very solid and sessionable. Fresh, fruity bitter hops. Nice pale. EithCubes (2162), Indiana, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 9, 2008 Bottle from jrob_21 - thanks, Jonathan! Floral, slightly pungent aroma that’s loaded up on the lemon and orange C-hops and is neatly grounded in a whiff of bread. Pale orange body with a short, tightly-knit beige head. Light body is sharply crisp and refreshing, taste lightly bitter and hoppy. Some really nice Centennial shining though. Floral, slightly citric (grapefruit) notes and a slightly soapy, washy quality toward the back. End isn’t as dry as I’d like, but there’s a nice maltiness here, if you look for it. Nice, calm summer APA. RH (2), Quebec, Canada does not count | 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 6, 2008 Draught. An ideal Pale Ale tasty, fresh, flavourfull and stil refreshing and drinkable. After few unbalanced IPAs and other of hopped and malted beer, this one saved the evening. The only one I took twice. I was really surprised to see the waiter sorry because he made a little head of foam (!?!) Is a beer usually served without any head in Georgia ?
Une Pale Ale idéal, savoureuse et toujours rafraichissante. Après quelques IPAs et autres bières du genre, la 420 Extra Pale Ale a sauvé la soirée. La seule que dont j’ai bu deux pintes. Le waiter était désolé d’avoir fait une petite mousse de 5mm (!?!)
