Tap at Paddy’s pub. Pours out a slightly hazy light orangy golden color with a moderate slightly off white head. Aroma is of some citrus, slight sweet fruity malts and a little bit of grain. Taste is of some grassy and citrus hops, light fruit and some bread notes. Finishes dry with some citrus notes.

Dec 18, 2009 Bottled. amber in color...lighter tan head. lighter floral hop aroma and sweet. malty sweet flavor with a bit much sweetness, my only true complaint for an easy drinking pale. hops add light bitter finish at end.

Dec 17, 2009 Golden copper color followed by a lasting 1/2" white head and plenty of long, sticky lacing. Flowery aroma with gentle citrus, biscuits, grass and toffee accents. Crisp feel with a good hop bite and some residual sweetness. Light bodied for a pale ale. Flavor touches on caramel, bread, orange, lemon, honey and apricot. Best before date was about one month ago, so perhaps the aroma and flavor has already started to slip, all in all a decent pale ale.

Dec 7, 2009 Pours a clear yellow/red with a small head that goes away fast. Aroma and taste is crisp hops and malts. Very light and a little too thin but fresh tasting. Not bad.

Nov 27, 2009 Bottle: Poured a yellow to golden color with a white colored head. The aroma is very light, but nice mix of hops and malt. Taste is sweet at the front end with a nice hoppy finish.

Nov 26, 2009 I’m actually surprised this beer is as highly rated as it is. I have nothing against Sweetwater nor the style, but this one was just off somehow. the hop profile is very upfront, but it tasted like cheap, old hops that do little more than bitter the brew. There is a bit of honey in the nose and on the tongue. This beer really is extra pale...super clear and clears the palate a few seconds after swallowing. My bottle tasted a little overcarbed? There are other beers in the style I’ll go back to.

Nov 2, 2009 Light, crisp. Refreshing beer that is very drinkable, yet not outstanding. I suggest this as a vehicle beer to move your macro buds to the good stuff.

Oct 30, 2009 Hmmmm, I might have been expecting something "extra" with this brew. I guess my preconceptions had clouded my impartiality to this brew because I found it pretty disappointing. I thought it was a little flat and fizzy with a slight cereal herby aftertaste. An earthy feel for sure, but I just dont think it jives well together. The sweetened honey grass didnt seem to work well together. I will try this again but maybe under different circumstances
