Although this beer is a pale one would swear it to be more like a fine lager such as Harp. It is extremely smooth and is far and above one of the best pales produced!

SOmewhat run of the mill amber ale. Fair amounts of flavor but somewhat lacking in definition or depth. Decent beer at the best. good flavor and mouthfeel. Nothing special.

Nothing about this beer clearly stands out to me. A nice tasting beer, but very typical of a mass prodcued beer. Slightly more flavorful than your typical American beer, but also not very complex to catagorize and a good English beer. Refreshing and cool, but not very impressive.

Rerate Kind of a glue-like taste and feel to it this time - still decent though and good for session purposes Original 3.3 On tap at a local sports bar watching the NCAAs - surprised that they had this. Nice copper color - slight malty aroma to go along with the deep copper color. Slightly metallic flavor, but enough maltiness to override it. Stays strong throughout - goes down smooth.

This beer is very smooth, but just screams BORING. Does not change flavor, not any distinct aroma. Still, it goes down nice, good for quaffing a few. Just not spectacular.

Had it on tap. Don't want to offend any JC lovers, but this doesn't do anything at all for me. Might as well drink Bud.

The perfect beer! Beer is for drinking and no other beer is more drinkable than old JC.

Very sugary, I found nothing wrong with this beer after its pale amber color and no head appearance....just wasnt too exciting.
