12 oz. bottle courtesy of KAggie97. Pour is clear golden red with a white head. Aroma slight sourness and not much else. Taste is fairly bland, some malt, some hops, and a bit more of the sour. Overall, basic, simple straight forward Pale Ale. Thanks for this one Kevin.

22 oz bottle from Zinister. Pour is amber copper red, clear, with an off white head. Aroma of faintly sweet caramel and a bit of metallic chemical. Taste has the malt, and the not so good metallic. I did not find this as offensive as Mike and Kevin, but it wasn’t good.

2009-05-29, blind tasting at Papsø’s, 8-5-8-5-17=43
Hazy copper color; medium head. Nice fruity American hops (Simcoe? Chinook?), ending bit resiny and earthy. Good caramel flavor, sweetish, missing the darker side, therefore more appreciated, with very good fruity hop (bitter oranges first, then tangerine and mango touch). Well balanced. Perfect mix of caramel sweetness and fruity hops, even if we start knowing this, therefore not original. Excellent.

Hazy copper color. Medium hoppy aroma, resiny, sweet, very light cheese (Roquefort). Powerful, good mouthfeel, correctly sweet and strongly hopped, resiny. Excellent.

Golden color with shade of amber. Cookies in the nose. Medium to full bodied. Malty, some grapefruit and sweetish (toffeish) flavors. Not overly hoppy, more like sugary malty. High ABV is not much shown.
