I can remember the greatest lunch I ever ate in my life - in a bar in Key West called ’Two Friends Bar’. This was the ale I had with my superb seafood platter. Does that inflate my rating? Probably, but this was an excellent ale! Recommended.

Reminded me of a pale ale - good taste, good color.

About the only good thing about going to a Jimmy Buffet restaurant. I would have guessed it was a Pale Ale based on the color and flavor, but then again I don’t know much about American Blonds. Anyway, it went well in the Florida setting, and I think they hit the nail on the head in the marketing department, because I can definitely see sitting on a beach watching the sunset with one of these.

Sweet amber flavor, pretty thin but relatively smooth and enjoyable.

Has a hoppy aroma with a bitter aftertaste. Not a bad beer, but I wouldn’t go out of my way.

A non special pale ale, thin and with the same hop aroma of the lager. i would buy when I am in the Keys tosupport the local brand over the nationals, but would not buy it outside the keys.

Has a hoppy aroma with a bit of an aftertaste. Not a bad beer, but not great!

An adequate American Pale, nothing great. Deep gold color. Some moderate malt and hop presence. Finishes a bit thin and watery, but is refreshing and clean tasting.

Nice light pale ale. Sweet and toasty malts with a nice citric balance.

A nice little beer from the most humid place on earth. This was very refreshing and malty. Bready and filling.
