From Jul 2007
Purchased as part of a mixed 6 Pack at Wilbur's in Ft Collins.
It pours from 12oz bottle a clear light gold with not much foam to speak of and there's no lacing.
The smell is as weak as the appearance. Nothing strikes my nose with any intensity.
The taste...this is where it starts to shine a bit. I'm getting some good citrus. mainly lemon, hops up front and it has a good malt balance. The malt isn't sweet; it's more of an earthiness but it does well in balancing the hop presence. Mind you, this isn't a beer with the flavour of the ages but it's quite quaffable. The body is on the light side and it's lightly carbonated but it's a good one to turn to for a hot summer day. It's worthy of a try or 2.

12oz bottle. Hazy dulled orange color. Soapy, patchy, off-white head. Respectable orange-citrus hop aroma. Medium bodied and quite mild, this is a pretty nice session beer. Low carbonation. Maybe a hint of lemony wheat. A little too tame.

Hazy yellow color, small white head. Bready, slightly citrusy and grainy nose. Bready, pale malty flavor, a bit harsh finish. Palate is watery. There is some good points in this beer, but overall too light.

Sample at the brewpub. Pours a clear golden color with a medium thin and fizzy white head that burns away quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Faintly floral Euro-hops aroma with a bit of malt. Light body with flavors of mildly spiced hops and sweet malt. A hint of grapefruit as well. The finish is mildly hoppy and short. Barely average overall.

Bottle pours a clear very light yellow-orange. Small lively wite head that dissipates rapidly. Light grain cereal aroma. Almost pale-lagerish. Flavor is mild, weak, light malt with very littel hop presense. More like a blonde, maybe. Maybe the weakest "Pale Ale" I have ever had. Lifght clean crisp palate. Still, not bad, ust lacking in everything. But equally, so I guess it is fairly balanced.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow golden with a small white head leaving behind decent spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is a fruity hop with citrus and grapefruit. Medium mouthfeel with a sweet grain taste. Easy to drink a very refreshing beer perfect for the heat. A good American pale ale from Bridgeport.

Golden color with a touch of orange. Big hop aroma, grass, hay, citrus, grapefruit, light golden malt, maybe some wheat? Flavor: citrus, grass, hay, hops. Light but complex malts, pine. Finish is dry, fruity, with citrus hops and grass. Very light, but wonderfully flavorful and refreshing beer.

12 oz bottle from Safeway, Port Angeles; Nose is light caramel and a fruity gum aroma; clear yellow-orange with a medium yellow tinged head; flavor has some mild hop bitterness, a peachnote, and light caramelly sweetness. Fruity and different.
