12 oz. bottle. Pours an orange/amber color with a very small, off-white head. Aroma was nutty, grainy from the malts, a bit of dough, and light pine from the hops, maybe some fruit (apple?). Flavor was sweet initially, but finished bitter. Decent session beer.

Not my favorite pale ale, but it is the original! Very light hop flavor. Great honey-amber color. Tastes good on a warm day. I give credit for a beer recipe that is 231 years old and still tastes good!

re-rate. light brown in color with an unsweetened cream like taste. somewhat bland but with a light malt touch. Drinkable but nothing special

A good looking beer in a pint glass. Tastes way better on tap than in a bottle. The beer goes well with Guiness.

A good beer to drink if you are going out to the bar to have a few. Very drinkable and pretty tasty. Some caramel flavor that makes it stand out a little from run of the mill beers.
