Super hazy muddy amber/orange/brown coloured body that looks like apple cider more than anything else. Aroma of fresh hops, yeast and a bunch of sugars, even though this bottle is about 2 years old. Light to Medium-bodied; Sharp hop flavour, high in alpha acids with a pungent yeastiness and some sweetness, all with a good malt backbone. The hops hit first and hard, then fade off. Aftertaste shows a lot of yeast and unfinished wort, rather than a full-fleged beer. Overall, a decent beer, especially for being over two years old. I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Shenendoah Brewery in Alexandria, Virginia a long while ago and sampled it on 19-February-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Not one of Bardo's better brews. Bardo did American style beers much better than the European styles and this beer atested to that fact. The commerical blurb above compares it to Bass and I would have to agree with that. The big difference being that the water does not taste as if it was hard enough to keep up with that of the Burton-on-Trent water used in Bass.
