This is the beer that gets the most rotation in my apartment. Cases go in the frige and get replaced a couple days later. I really like this beer, widley availible. Makes a good black and tan. Smooth taste, rather light, slight bitter. Very drinkable, works well for all my easy drinking needs.

Everytime I drink this, I am reminded of when I was 19 sneaking beers. Almond aroma in the back of the throat (not a falvor used often in beer descriptions), a classic bitter in every way. I notice among my friends, the older we get and more "mature" our palates get, the weaker this beer seems.

One of my favorite beers. Good from the bottle or on tap. Can taste the hops, but not overpowering for a pale ale. A pleasant aftertaste combined with a great amber-brown color also add to its appeal.

Tap. The orange gold pint came to me from a cute bartender, which made me thirsty...for more...ale. With a light malt aroma, I easily consumed that easy drinking pint quickly with notes of bitterness, malts, and a light cream element to it. I liked the sweet moments to it too.

Draft. Clear amber with a pillowy white head. Not much of an aroma, sweet malt, thin mouthfeel. Good carbonation and maybe a dry hop on the finish. Easy drinking.

Bottle. Thin white head, body is a light brown color. Nutty, malty taste, with a lasting lacy carbonation.
