Nice off-white head, reddish gold color in the glass. Aroma is mostly citrus with a fair amount of caramel malt. Hops are prominent in the aroma, but are more subtle than I expected. Taste is more of the same. Very refreshing, with a clean hoppy-citrus finish. Palate is perfect for this style. Fantastic beer overall. Hank1980 (764), Athens, Georgia, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Dec 15, 2007 Great pale ale! Very strong hop aroma with citrus, spices, and pine. Aroma also has some sweetness as well. Appearance is deep copper with off-white head that fades. Flavor is of lightly toasted malts, followed by heavy hops. Finish is of mild hoppy bitterness. Mouthfeel is creamy & smooth wih decent carbonation, different than alot of APAs and IPAs. bleeng (598), Spring near Beersel, Texas, USA

Too bad because I probably will not have a chance to get another any time soon. I remember that it was hoppy and enjoyable. I will rerate this one day and give specifics. bryandhargrave (165), Richmond, Virginia, USA
