Not the most exciting beer in the world, but an old favorite. One of the first beers I got into that didn’t come in a 40oz bottle or taste like urine. I drink this when I’m not feeling adventurous.

Clear amber ale with a small off-white head and minimal carbonation. Aroma is sweet with a touch of spice. Flavor is malty sweet with hop in the background; mouthfeel is medium. Finish sweet and short. Good ale.

Pours a dark honey color, with an inch head which quickly fades. Great lasting taste, quite refreshing all the way down. I just burped, and it felt great. A great beer in my opinion, especially for the price.

A nice, accessible Pale Ale. Nice, Amber color poured into a pint glass from a 12 oz. bottle. Some sweetness up front with a pleasing, hoppy bitterness in the back. Smooth mouthfeel with a fairly low amount of carbonation. Head retention is decent when properly poured; some nutty aroma, though nothing too strong. A very drinkable and likable beer overall.
