This is a strange one as the first bottle I had, I really enjoyed - however, the second and third (which I am currently on) seem markedly different.


A: Light amber/orange. Good head/head retention on all pours.
S: Citrus/pine hops up front and then something a bit off/funky underneath.
T: Not bad...light. No malt character to speak of (perhaps a lot of corn in the grain bill). Late hopping or low alpha hops...pleasant enough here but lacking balance. Metallic on the back end.
M: A bit overly carb'd for the style. Gives the beer a sharp feel.
O: I'll finish the 6...and not a bad summer beer, but probably won't be back for more.

Poured from a 12 oz brown bottle into a clear Donegal mug. No freshness date. Received as leftovers from my friend Pat's recent visit.

A: Very clear light copper with 1-finger off-white head, a bit wispy, but it leaves a few lace figures behind.

S: Aroma is pretty light with herbal, floral hops with a kiss of citrus and slightly grainy pale maltiness with very slight caramel

T: Inobtrusive but enjyable with nothing offensive. Straightforward pale maltiness, with some crystal 40 caramel, and finishes a bit tealike with herbal and earthy notes. I think this is more of an English Pale Ale than an APA, at least in the hopping.

M: Fairly highly carbonation but the medium body feels lighter and drier for it.

O: I didn't mind this brew at all and rather enjoyed it for what it is -- either an underhopped APA or a misnamed English Pale Ale. Not something I would seek out, but not a bad value per others' reviews and certainly I have had much worse.
