| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Aug 18, 2008 Bottled almost a year ago. Pours a dark golden color with a off white head. Has a slight hop aroma, but mainly is malt sweetness. Has a medium body. Taste is mostly malty sweetness. What a let down. thejoeshow (232), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 13, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a light amber/golden color with a viscous white head that produces wonderful lacing all the way down the glass. Nose is a good hop forward aroma with notes of pine and citrus all over the place. Not too in your face and just right for an APA. Flavor is nice and mellow with a good amount of bitterness in there to make the hops the focal point of the beer. Very smooth and easy to drink. This is a good solid APA that shouldn’t be messed with. Brigadier (1246), Chagrin Falls, Ohio, USA

This is your typical local pale ale. I gave it a shot on the way out the gate only because I have somehow never had it. Figuring that I could save myself a $1.50 bottle I gave it a shot. Ambivalent I could actually go either way on whether to get more. This is your average lawn mower beer just witha regional twist. If you have a favorite in your area drink that instead.
Aroma / Appearance - Lemon zest with a hoppy backbone gives this some presence but nothing aggressive. The transparent golden body looks golden as one would expect. Just hold up whatever your local brewpub brews and you’ll get the idea.
Flavor / Palate - The bitter start of hops soon fades in lemon and then nothing. Very sessionable and easy on the palate this is a standard local pale ale. I would like to have had something a bit thicker but beggars can’t be choosers. doubelknv3 (568), Illinois, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 30, 2008 Pour was medium golden with an off white head. Aroma was of fresh hops but it wasn’t too bitter. Flavor was a bit more hoppy with a lot of caramelized malt. I got a lot of sweet malt as well in the flavor. Good brew. May buy again. amishcaravan (237), Winona, Minnesota, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 26, 2008 pours a slightly hazy golden color with finger width head. scent of floral hops and some wheat. taste is pretty hoppy, and leaves a nice bitter after taste. This is an enjoyable beer. I could see myself puchasing this again. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 24, 2008 Looks, smells, and tastes like a good pale ale. Pretty much the definition of a pale ale. Nothing incredibly exciting or different about it, but that doesn’t mean it’s no good. Solid brew.
