aroma, vegetables. appearance, gold color: little head, but some lacing. Thin. Taste not good at all wilted greens, pissy Budweiser-esque. surprised this is an ale, feels more like a lager.

Aroma almost smells skunky to me, but I have some sinus issues. Taste is very smooth and mellow. A very good example of an ale.
