12 oz bottle. Aromas of pine, like most pale ales. Tastes like an average pale. Very satisfying and thirst quenching, but very ordinary.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a slightly clear golden body and a quickly fading off-white head. Aroma is lightly brown sugar and some floral hops. Taste is hop bitterness surrounded by some sweet caramel malt. Good, but boring. Light bubbles, water like mouthfeel.

Wow, what a label, cloud with personality, a little scary. A shade darker than the pale yellow american lager. A little hazy, must be unfiltered. Decent carbonation thru the session. Thin head. Fruity and hoppy on the aroma and the taste. Wet rag olfactory. .Almost IPA in character. Finish is bitter linger for at least a short period of time. Not as bitter as an IPA but certain has the hoopy bite to it. I find it more palatable than many APAs.

An amber beer with white bubbly head. Very light grass type malt aroma. Sour flavor of malt flows in and ends sweet to the taste buds. Very impressive for this area of NY.

Golden ale with a nice c-hop aroma and apple notes. Sweet malt with resinous hops and light citrus. Lemon notes. Medium bodied. Thanks Mike.

This is a decent, easy-drinking pale ale. The balance of malt and hops is pretty good, but the finish is somewhat like cough medecine. There are so many pale ales on the market, that, unless something strikes me as being particularly wonderful (which this isn't), I can't justify a rave review.

Nice orange tint to the golden colour, sour fruity smell. Good pale ale taste with some distinctive fruity notes. Some hops go towards the aftertaste, but an all-arond decent beer!

Light copper; Aroma: Unfolding hops & fresh, bready malt; Palate: very fresh-tasting floral hoppiness. Not overwhelmingly bitter at all, just great hop flavours well balanced by fresh malt.
