12 oz. bottle. Pours a copper color with a little more brown than true copper. Very nice looking. Off white, small head. Aroma did not make me want to drink it, or not drink it. Light feel, thin, but still somewhat satisfying. Nice bitterness, but a bit too much plastic and metal taste. Overall, a decent session beer that you can buy anywhere.

Great beer!! Goes down smooth and has a slightly nutty flavor. Not much of a head. One of my all time favorites.

Pours a clear, pale copper with a loose, ivory head. The nose is of pale, bready malt with a slightly phenolic note in the background. The mouthfeel is fairly light-bodied and thin with a clean but lightly metallic finish. The flavor is of bready, pale malt, a touch of caramel and a bit of a dry plastic at the quick finish. This is a decent transition beer, easily available just about anywhere and with a better flavor profile than the typical macro lager. In comparison to other examples of this style, however, this is an entirely mediocre brew.

Very good beer, one of the best I have tried in a long while. Light on the hops but very malty!

More malt taste than hops, as in typical pale ales, but this one satified with a smooth palate and subtle hops. It’s a pretty good brew at a party, or a familiy function.

brownish amber with fair amount of dense white head. Not much to the nose, with a medium build and what I can only describe as a very peppery taste. Heavy on malt, low on hops. Okay stuff when there’s nothing tastier around at the sports bar

A good beer, fairly common to find on tap. Some bitterness but no more than I expected from what it is. Not alot of hops but the malt presence is there. Has a fairly prominent yeasty or biscuity note. Much better from the tap than from the bottle.

12oz bottle - Poured light copper or caramel color with medium head. Really a nice looking beer, very good carbonation. I could smell malt, slight hop and fruity scent. Tasted yeast on palate with a weak hop finish, also slightly dry. Overall a decent beer but not overly impressed.
