Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5
Location: 750 ml bottle from Buy Rite - Jersey City, 10/30/10
Aroma: Nose has herbal hops, fruity notes, some floral notes, malts, and a little wood
Appearance: Sort of a dark golden-orange color with a large, fluffy white head
Flavor: The taste is sort of mineral/herbal, some malty flavors, and lemony/fruity notes
Palate: It has a sort of strange, but not necessarily off-putting mouthfeel to it
Overall Impression: I'm a big believer that it is always a good idea to kick-off a tailgate with atleast one "good" beer. If you are going to be drinking pale water from a can for the rest of the day, at least you got to try one thing with some flavor and color to it. Anyway, this was our kick-off to a day of tailgating, and it was solid stuff. It is a nice attempt at an English-style pale ale.
