A brilliantly clear copper colored beer with gold notes to it. It is topped by a thick off white head. A sweet grainy aroma with perhaps a hint of hops contained in the nose. A little bit more hop oriented in the flavor, but it is still fairly subtle. The graininess is in the flavor as well. It finishes with a restrained hop bite. A pretty clean beer, seems like most of the flavor has been stripped out. Much better than a macro-lager but not enough flavor to get it much above mediocrity.

Draft, medium amber, OK head. Smells like beer. Taste is very light, undefined malts, with a bit of balancing bitterness. No definitive flavors anywhere. Nothing wrong here, just stunningly boring beer.

mostly watery with a bitter backtaste, not the best beer but it is filling and easy drinking

This is pretty much your standard pale ale, nothing to special to make it stand out. Easy to drink, lacking in flavor. Watery with an easy finish.

Amber color, good lace. Not much odor of malt or hops. Flavor a bit weak. Clean finish and a little bitterness. Overall forgetable.

Easy drinking Amber. Adequate, and for the price there are better micros to be had for sure.

Just average at best. Appearance is ok. Nice golden color, clear with a white mostly diminishing head. Moderate lacing. Aroma is noticable but light with malt. Taste is somewhat watery with malt /sweet initial taste with some bitterness in the finish. OK just unimpressive.
