I was hoping for something more bitter. Hadn’t had for a long time and I remember a more bitter beer. It is a smooth beer and cooper in color

Now this is a good everyday type of brew. Beautiful copper with pillowy white head, this beer has a moderate amount of both malt and hops (nothing overbearing) that play nicely on the palate. The alcohol content is low enough to drink a few and high enough to let you know it. Cheers!!!

Pours a copper color with a medium white head that diminishes fairly quickly. Malty floral aroma. Smooth, fairly malty, almost sweet taste, with a light hop twist. I’d like to pair this with a BLT sandwich on sourdough toast and tomato bisque soup.

Bottle pours a rich amber color with a decent sized tan head. Aroma of sweetness, malt, and hops. Good flavor with a nice mix of rich malts and hop bitterness.

Draft. Poured a light copper color with small diminishing head. tasted of sweat malt and floral notes. Very fruity notes in the beer with a dash of hops that smoothes the beer out a bit. Not as hoppy as domestics (APA) are. Very drinkable and refreshing.

Nice everyday beer. The aroma is sweet with a bit of hops. The color is a golder redish yellow. Nice and average palate. Overall Nice Bar beer.
