Aroma is of rich malts, fruit, grass, earth and caramel. Taste is of rich malts, subtle earthy hops, fruit, spice and caramel. Medium bodied and crisp with ample carbonation. Ending is fizzy; of earthy hops, spice and caramel, well blended. RblWthACoz (963), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Sep 28, 2007 Pours a clouded pretty dark amber. No head. Nose is sugary sweet. Flavor is not very boisterous. Kind of sweet in a metallic and all the wrong kind of ways. Makes me go "blech". Feel is thick and syrup like on the liquid. Not very drinkable as far as quality experiences go. I will pass on ever revisiting. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

dark amber, whispy beige head, sweet hoppy aroma with a hint of citrus, good carmel malt flavor, well balanced with some hop bitterness that leads to a long bitter finish, nice but lacking distinctive character

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | May 1, 2007 Totally without charm. Pale hazy straw with small white head ... some promise. Nose of must and floral hops ... less promise. Thin in the mouth, insufficient malts, betrays the hope provided by the slight cloudines. Taste of floral hops and some metallic nasties, Maybe a hint of American west coast hops in the finish. I’d rather have a San Miguel. And I hate Spanish beer. This ended up in the sink. nimbleprop (947), SouthWest, Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 2, 2007 Liked the look of this, hazy copper/orange with a foamy slightly off white head. Very solid and balanced aroma, spicy, citrus, piney but not overwhelming. Nice flavor, sweet and bitter, malty and citrus. Only slightly astringent finish but well balanced. rauchbier (3004), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 25, 2007 Cask, at GBBF 2005. Gold, thin low white head and gentle condition. Pleasant sweet toffee and caramel in the nose, much the same in the mouth but joined by some alcohol notes, a gentle yeastiness and a touch of hops. Low hop bitter finish.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 19, 2006 Bottle courtesy of jjpm74! Looks great, amber pour, with a creamy tan head. Not really pumpin out much as far as aroma concerns, little grapefruit. Quite malty, and decently balanced, nothing over the top here, but its pretty good. pintocb (518), Darsville, Georgia, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Nov 27, 2006 Not a fan. Smelled a bit like sour milk. Too much esterey stuff going on for an APA. Not as much hops as advertised. I have to say I was dissapointed. I did have fun giving "Pale American Hookers" to my non-beergeek friends though.....
