An excellent lighter ale, which I actually didn't identify as ale. It isn't overly hoppy at all. It has a full body and a fresh flavor.

CC’s first attempt at an easy drinking beer for the masses. Not bad, but not too good either. Missing their normal pleasant hops experience, what we get is a drinkable, but not very remarkable beer. It has a nie look in the glass, but the head fades quickly.Goes down very easily because there is not much to consider as far as flavor goes. Again, not bad, but not real good either.

UPDATED: OCT 5, 2004 Great head and lace. Mainly malty and clean with a nice light hop bitterness. Enjoyable.

A buddy of mine brought this up one weekend from Baltimore, and I was pleasantly surprised. Nice hoppiness, good blond color, went down quite smoothly...a winner

Pretty hoppy for a blond ale, spicy aroma & aftertaste, very close to an APA

Golden yellow color with not much head, looking very much like a lager. Scent is negligible. Flavor is slightly hoppy, with no real hints of fruitiness or floweriness. Palate’s slightly creamy, but really feels like a failed lager rather than anything else.
