2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 ADfan (691) - Orange County, California, USA - OCT 24, 2011
Thanks to my neighbor for purchasing one of their 1/2 gallon jugs at the pub. The beer poured an amber color in the glass with small head. Aroma was mild with some fruit and butterscotch. The taste was lacking any full flavors. Very mild hop taste with a little citrus coming through. Definitely thought it would have a more flavor.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Dogbrick (9830) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - AUG 23, 2010
UPDATED: SEP 4, 2010 Sample at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber-brown color with a thin light beige head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Sweet malt and fruit in the nose. Light body with flavors of sweet bready malt, grass and mild hops. The finish is brown sugar and chocolate malt with a short sweet aftertaste. The brewery says it is a Pale Ale but I couldnt figure how it fits in that category. Regardless it is a thoroughly average flagship beer overall.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 Brewsmith (148) - Torrance, California, USA - JAN 27, 2009
On tap at the brewery served in a pint glass. Aroma is toasty and just a hint of earthy floral hops. Color is a medium brown, served with very little head. Flavor is more toasty cracker. Some hints of coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Very little sweetness and bitterness is balanced even with the malt. An easy drinking session beer that is light on the palate and drinkable. This beer is more like a lower gravity brown ale or a slightly bigger English Mild.

2.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Charlzm (246) - Los Angeles, California, USA - JAN 8, 2008
UPDATED: JAN 22, 2008 Draft, consumed at brewery on 01/07/08. Described to me by the bartneder as more of an ESB than an APA. Light brown/caramel coloring. Fast fading head. No aroma. Quite astringent with mild maltiness. Sweet orange finish without bitterness. Unusual and a touch more interesting than the rating might suggest.

Pretty standard American Pale Ale. Very simple but not in a bad way. Overall a good refreshing beer.
