Clear amber with decent white head. Maltiness in aroma. Nice malty flavor with moderate hoppy finish. Decent, but not great.

Clear light amber pour wiht a frothy white head. Grainy malt in the aroma, with a touch of hops. Kind of bitter as well. Bitter taste, hint of nuts, caramel, malt, and a little bit of hops. Overall, pretty decent. It kind of left me wanting more. Bought this 12 oz bottle at Total Wine in Manassas, VA.

From a bottle - This poured a thin, quickly diminishing head with a very present sweet malt aroma, although its taste is a bit on the thin side. Drinkable, but nothing to rave about.

I’m suprised this beer hasn’t been rated more because I find it quite quite prevalent where I live. It is a decent amber ale, though it was much beeter the last time I tried it. A good beer for newbies.

Amber in color, small head. Was malty as expected, not particularly complex. Very thin body, carbonation almost made it feel like a macro. Not very good.

Hazy, light amber ale with a mid-sized, frothy, off-white head. The nose is malty and fruity with notes of butterscotch, grass and apple. The well-balanced flavor is a bit thin and watery, but delivers a decently bitter, lightly acidic and moderately malty taste. Light-bodied with lively carbonation and a lengthy, bitter finish. Nothing repulsive nor memorable about this beer. Good session beer.

The aroma is really quite weak, almost smells like water. A very light, clear amber color with a nice head, but it dissipates very quickly. The flavor is not quite a weak as the smell, but neither is it very strong. It's quite malty for an ale, with a very mild hop presence. It was quite good, and in my opinion deserving of a higher average rating that it has. It's not an especially interesting or challenging brew, but if you want an easy-drinking beer that still tastes good this is just the ticket.
