| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 25, 2008 Bottle poured into a pint glass produced a good two fingers worth of head that turned to a thick lace across the glass. The body of the brew was a clear copper to gold in color
Aromas of nice fresh hops hit my nose first then a light sweet bready, caramel note soon followed.
My taste buds appreciated the well balanced flavors of this brew not to bitter not to sweet. A nice rounded Pale light in the mouth and crisp on the tongue
Very drinkable a nice sessionable brew was a great lunch beer with my sandwich. I would drink this one again

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Sep 27, 2008 Bottle pours amber with a off white head. Has aroma that starts with a little malt and finishes with a slight hop twang. It does not have a very interesting aroma for the style. Has a light to medium body. Taste or flavor has little to be desired. Harsh malt flavors with a slight hop profile round out a very uninteresting beer. Overall this is not a very good beer. biznizness (956), Mooresville, North Carolina, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 20, 2008 This is an extremely good pale ale, durn near the best pale ale I can remember having. If I still lived in PA, this might be my go-to brew, but down here, I’ll have to settle for Sierra Nevada if I want a good pale ale. alexsdad06 (1115), Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 17, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma has nice sweet malt, light citrus, and floral hops. The flavor is biscuity malt, light citrus, light bitterness, and a hint of a metallic sensation. Medium bodied, decent carbonation, if the metal wouldn’t have wandered into the flavor this would have been really nice. As it stands, this is a decent APA that falls short of the best in the class. doubleo (1121), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 13, 2008 12oz bottle from Badbeer. Quality brew. Pours clear, yellow/amber with a thin, crisp white head. Smells metallic with a nice mix of clean hops and mildly sweet malts. Tastes clean and malty with a slow-building, slightly bitter hop flavor. Quality. Medium body, good carbonation. DrBayern (1137), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA

Aroma - Toffee and light fruit, faint citrus and earthy hops
Appearance - Thin, off white head under a clear gold pour, lasting thin layer of foam, sliding wispy lace
Flavor - Background of light, fruity sweetness, up front, mild citrus zest bitterness finishes
Palate - Medium body and carbonation, clean, zesty dryness
Overall - This is a good, drinkable, APA with nice balance and nothing that is overstated or excessive.
