I had this a while back when they still made beer. I enjoyed it. It was a very light IPA but it had good hop aroma and flavor.

Draft. The best thing I can say about this beer was that it looked good. A deep golden color with a good thick head. Now on to the bad bits: it was over-carbonated and had this flavor that was grassy and industrial (if you can think of industrial slime as a flavor). This is the second time I've bought a pint of this and neither time have I been impressed, so I don't think it was just a bad batch.

Tap. Golden color with a laced white head. Hop aroma. Smooth crisp flavor. Bitter with a malty finish.

Deep golden color and appropriately headless. The drink is dry and clean, with big bushy fresh hop aromas and flavors. A bit of fruit from the malt is the mote on this otherwise very good brew.
