Purist Pale Ale: Medium gold, hazy color. Almost no head. Aroma has faint strength but is decently balanced between hoppy and malty aroma. Taste delivers the same - hops are dominant, as appropriate for a pale ale, but the malts aren't being walked all over. The finish is a pleasant hop tingle but the aftertaste is faintly metallic, which spoils it a bit. Body is good for the style. It's not bad for a hophead-in-training beer. 8.2
Major Hops Olde Ale: No head to speak of. Fairly light copper color. Initial swallow is mostly malt with some hop. Hops show up more strongly in the swallow. It's a pleasant, simple, drinkable beer. Body might be a very tad on the light side. It's not a particularly notable beer, but it meets its' mark. Warms up pleasantly. 8.4
