I had this on tap at one of the few bars in the US that carries it. It tasted like Sam Adams, just without the hoppiness. More golden in color than I originally thought, but very smooth and easy to drink. It’s clean finish went very well with my fish fry.

Yay first one to rate this new Keith’s product. Pours darker and honey colored then typical commercial lagers. Aroma smells of Keiths IPA. Yeah I like it!! This one has some character to it. Nice bigger taste then most North Americans tastes like a fresh Euro. Very enjoyable slightly floral taste. Nice amount of hoppage. Wow this beer is well balanced and well priced.

Draft. Poured a deep amber body with thin head. Aroma is light bread and grain, some hops. Flavor is lightly bready with some crisp citrus hops. Found myself enjoying this one more than I would have expected. Nice mouthfeel.

I find that this beer is a better one thant the original AK. While its not the one with the most vibrant flavor, its the one that is the best balanced.

Had this because it was on sale at a local bar since it is from Sydney Crosby’s hometown and the Pens game was on. Pours a real nice light brown clear color with some fizzy offwhite head. Aroma is sweet with a bit of damp earthy hops. Flavor is mostly watery, corny, with a tad bit of caramel sweetness. Reminds me very much of Yuengling.
