Not the greatest Pale Ale out there but definitely worth a try. I’ve had non beer drinking friends of mine swear by the stuff but I just can’t crawl into the bottle with this one.

On draft at the brewpub. golden amber body with a small white head. Smells of caramel, citrusy hops, nutty. Taste is similar with hops taking a slightly larger role. Great session material.

12oz bottle. Pours clear amber in color with full foamy white head. Aroma roasted malt and hops. Taste sweet, roasted malt, nutty and bitter with bitter finish.

Bottle. Good session beer that can enable one to enjoy a day of drinking (tailgate perhaps). Light color with small head and minimal resin. Much better than mass-produced lagers for enjoying several beers.

Nothing special or out of the ordinary with this mediocre beer. Smells like a farm, tastes like burnt farts. That’s about it. Shame on you dogfish, pretty bad. Some malt, banana, a splash of hops in flavor. Upside? I guess it’s balanced..
