3.8/5
AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 ounce can, canned 06-01-10. Oh well, I guess I should have checked the bottom before purchasing the single, we will see how this goes. Pours slightly hazy orangish amber color, with a dense 2 finger off white head with fantastic retention. A bit of lacing is on the glass as well. Aromas of pine, grapefruit, caramel, and a bit of orange. Weak aromas, but they are pretty nice for what they are. Taste of big caramel, grapefruit, pine, and biscuit; with a nice bitterness on the finish that lasts for a decent period of time with pine and grapefruit flavors. Light-medium body with medium carbonation. Nice smoothness and easy drinkability. No alcohol noticed in the taste or finish. Overall, for being over a year old this pale ale is surprisingly good stuff. I would definitely like to try a fresher one someday.
Very nice pale ale here, despite the age on the can. I hope they start distributing here some time.
