A refreshing ale with a fruity palate and a crisp finish. The aromatics of Cascade hops are balanced by the richness of traditional two-row British malted barley.

From old tasting notes. Labeled as "Mystic Seaport Pale Ale". Bright Amber orange color. Fluffy beige head. Spicy, sweet toasted malt aroma. Bittersweet toasted malt flavor hints at black pepper and charcoal. Dryish malt finish.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a very light yellow colored body with no lacing, and no rings. No carbonation is seen rising. An ever so small white head less than a film dissipated within seconds.
The smell had some light malts with just a bit of graininess to it.
The taste had some of the grains come back with the malts, mainly balanced, but nothing spectacular. A bit grassy and herbal.
On the palate, it sat at/about a light, and was fairly sessionable, with no carbonation felt in my mouth. It had a balanced clean dry finish to it.
Overall, this was not a bad beer, though it was nothing spectacular it does the trick on a warm day. I would have this again, most likely grillin’.

Location: Draft at Shipyard Tavern in Mystic, 7/13/13, as Mystic Seaport Ale
Aroma: The aroma is light, some pale malty, hints of floral hop, and fruity notes
Appearance: This one pours a cloudy golden color with a small white head
Flavor: The taste is much the same, it is light and malty, a little sweet, and with mild bitterness
Palate: The body is light but not watery, clean, average carbonation, and mildly dry finish
Overall Impression: I thought this was an okay beer overall. I didn't find it particularly impressive, but it was certainly a drinkable offering.

The aroma is slightly sweet and malty. The color is golden and it has a fine but disappearing head. The flavor is weak but sweet with notes of strawberries and oranges. It ends on an OK bitterness. The body is quit thin. A fine beer, but nothing special.
