UPDATED: JUL 10, 2008 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!

UPDATED: OCT 4, 2008 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.
