Jul 3, 2004 Updated: Jul 22, 2007UPDATE 7/22/7: I just tried this again for the first time in many years. This is simply not the same beer as it originally was. On cask at the brewpub. It is a beautiful serve with walls of lacing cascading down going from waves of light brown separating to a reddish amber color with a thick white head. Very nice aroma of fresh green piney hops. Served properly at cask temperature. Has a great tartness to the flavor like a homebrew pale ale. Great gypsum saltiness is present here as well. Has a tea-like astringency. Low carbonation, but still has a great tingle to the tongue. Medium body, a smooth and easy quaffer with a distinct flavor profile of a pale ale. Fantastically better than the crap that once went by this name.

Jul 24, 2007 on tap at dowtown location... tried the cask-conditioned version, which was served at the correct temperature! amber gold color, with an amazing smooth head which coats the side of the glass and lasts all the way to the bottom of the pint - rather amazing. Nice hoppiness with good malt balance. Good work, Zach!

Nov 20, 2009 On tap at the pub. Amber with a nice lasting head. Aromatic hops- grapefruit. Mild malt flavor, a little bitter, fairly balanced and drinkable. Low carbonation and medium body. Pretty good.

Aug 29, 2005 A good beer, a little light on hops for a pale ale. I was surprised at how dark it was, even though it wasn’t typical of a pale ale.

Oct 7, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. The body was dark amber with an off white head. The aroma was decent grapefruit with some almonds. The taste was bitter grapefruti with some walnuts. Not much balance here.

Apr 1, 2006 Ok maybe I made an error in having this one two beers after their IPA. This one was thin and not very close to what I expect in a Pale Ale, tasted more like an Amber to me. Was not a very enjoyable brew.

Oct 10, 2007 Tap @ brewpub: Clear amber color with no head. Interesting flavor for a pale ale. It actually resembles an ESB more than a pale. Flavors of freshly polished shoe leather and something musty. There is a sharp bitterness in the flavor, almost like hair spray. At worst, it is a bad example of an American Pale ale or at best, not my preference for this category.
