12oz bottle. Pours a light amber color with a decent head and some lacing. Aroma has a nice maltiness with a spicy, grassy hop touch. The taste is initially fruity, with a little malt presence, then a decent hop finish, with moderate bitterness.

Draft, many sessions at Norfolk airport 2001-2004. Shiny light copper with a small and mostly lasting head. Aroma is slight, sweetish peppery evergreen. Initial flavor is the same, turning to more dry-bitter, piny hop with a slight sour note on the finish. Palate is light medium, watery, tingly and dryish.

Thanks to Springslicker (and Aro0) for this one. Clear orange with a decent white head. Toasty, malty aroma. Thin, seltzery body. Notes of bread and pepper. Nice session ale.

Bottle thanks to Argo0. Brilliantly clear medium copper with an off-white head that falls quickly. Dry butterscotch aroma. Bitterness dominates the early flavor with some sweetness only making it’s appearance near the end of the finish. I would have preferred more dryness when I got sweet, and I got bitterness when I would have liked a touch of sweetness. Not bad despite the issues of unbalance.

Draught. Clear orange-brown color with thin white head that left some lace. Nice sprucy hop aroma accented by caramel maltiness. Love the smell. Tastes good too with a nice balance between the soft malt and sprucy hops. Very good pale ale.

Not a bad beer, pouring with an amber color and a decent initial head. Lacing was ok. The aroma was mostly of hops, light caramel. Flavor was of caramel and some bread-like notes with a definite but not overdone hop presence: citrus and some pine. The mouthfeel was full for the style. The more enjoyable of the three beers I had tonight.

Retired! No! I just tried this great beer. Sweet aroma, some caramel. Very light and refreshing. Will have to look for it before it’s really gone.

3.31.06 Retired! Beaconstreet told me it was going to be soon as I visited him in Washington, DC this past weekend. Too bad since it is a pretty decent brew that I would have had no problem picking up a 6 of once in a while
