does not count  Sep 8, 2001 This beer is at the intersection of purity, body and flavor on the venn diagram that is on its label.

Feb 18, 2002 Great Ale nothing like a regular pilsner as some have said.I rate it up there with Pilzner Urquell.Great aroma great taste and after taste is savory,hard for me to get but worth the 1200 miles I drove to get it.

Jun 9, 2002 Ah, the tradition of Ballantine. The IPA is apparently no longer available (pity) and the only place I see the lager is on episodes of Frasier. His dad drinks it. Ballantine’s regular ale is not as good as it used to be but still offers more flavor and character than most run of the mill American standard lagers. This is a good stepping stone away from the norm and toward the craft world. This is the kind of light golden ale that was so common in the U.S. during the 40s and 50s, but with a little less character.

Feb 20, 2002 A classic. Better than you would think it would taste.
