Aroma of earthy, grainy caramel malt and subtly floral grapefruity hops. Body starts with a full, earthy sweet caramel flavor with a touch of English hoppy bitterness and citrus notes before a full-bodied bittersweet finish. Has nice English malty character and balance, but I expect an English Pale Ale to be a little thinner and easier to drink. Wakie (612), Centreville, Virginia, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 27, 2006 12 oz bottle: reddish gold with a ring of white for a head. Pretty average caramel, vanilla and hop laced aroma. Fairly smooth palate, but does flirt with a watery-ness. Fair hop flavours with a quick bitterness in the finish. Certainly not the top of the line, but certainly drinkable. jimmyh221 (157), Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 27, 2006 The beer had a cloudy blondish color. The head was off white in color with excellent lacing. This Pale Ale was not as bitter as other Pale Ale’s. jefcon (1000), Arlington, Virginia, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 24, 2006 Clear golden color with a thin off-white head. Light honey aroma with some mild hops. Flavor of mild hops along with light malt and hints of honey Numenor (869), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 24, 2006 Nice medium volume off-white head with a Good golden-red body. A nice sweet, yet malty and hopy aroma. Some sweet fruits such as banannas and cherrys are evident. Good hops in the taste, some sweetness is again evident due to the malts. Clear ending.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 4, 2006 Market Square Liquors, Tallahassee, Fl. - 12 oz bottle. Light copper pour, thickish, creamy off-white head that leaves a good coating of lacing. Patented pale ale aroma - slightly floral - kinda fruity - hint of pine, somewhat fresh - decent - more English than American definitely. Flavor has some subtle caramel hints, a bit of white grapes and some toffee. Mouthfeel is thick enough. Pleasantly surprised.
