Very nice American Pale Ale with crisp flavor and just the right amount of hop aroma.

Pours amber...aroma is a pale mild malty candy..taste is good sweet ...some tree n citrus...like alot

Loved it when I first had it, not a fan at all anymore. Can't really pinpoint why. Slightly bitter and skunky taste to me. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft. Clear bright copper color with a one finger whitish head and great lacing. Bready malt aroma with an average level of earthy, floral, and resinous hops. Pretty nice flavor if a bit standard. Bready, biscuity, and earthy with slight caramel notes. Medium-bodies and very smooth on the palate. A good pale ale, but pretty typical.

Draught at Goose Island Clybourn, Chiciago. Clear golden - white head. Hay, toasted, grassy, soapy, dryness, medium to light malty, pleasant mild hoppy, cereal, nice freshness bitter finish.

Nice gold pour white head. Aroma is so clean and crisp, nice juicy hops and some good honeyed malts. Flavor is smooth, clean, so easy to drink. A great balance of fruitiness, hops and malt. Nice!

I absolutely love this beer. Can get it on tap at most Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants. $3 tall draft on Thursdays means I drink a lot of this beer every week. Great session beer

Tap @ Elephant & Castle, Chicago. Golden colour with medium white head. Mild hops aroma. Sweet, light flavour.

On tap at multiple locations over the past year or two, but rated from a keg at our St Patty’s day party. Didn’t realize I’d never rated this, actually. Pours a clear, golden-copper colored body with a finger-width, frothy, off-white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is crackery, slightly bready pale malts with a good amount of lemon and grapefruit grassy hops. Flavor is similar. Crisp, grassy grapefruits and lemons up front before a light pale, crackery, grainy malt comes in to balance. Finishes clean and dry with a medium-light bitterness and a fairly lengthy aftertaste. Light, crisp body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, a fairly simple, straightforward, sessionable pale ale. Crisp, clean, and easy drinking with enough of a hop backing to keep things interesting. Always a go-to when the selection is limited.

On tap. Pours a near clear sappy orange with a white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces. Aroma has notes of sweet grain and sweet gays with a light backing grassy hop note. Flavor begins sweet with cookies and is joined by some earthy grain and grassy hops.
