Bottle Poured into my pint glass produced a fingers worth of head that turns to a ring of lace. The body of this brew is cloudy pale yellow in color Aromas of light hops and bread filled my nose Flavors are nice and light great summer ale, it starts of with sweet malts and finished with a light hop bitter light in the mouthfeel good carbonation on the tongue Very drinkable light and crisp great for a hot summer night a good session brew

This is the kind of beer you enjoy on a hot summer day, a beer you drink as opposed to sip. It is lite compared to most other micro brews. There is a nice balance to this beer. Give it a try and see what I’m talking about.

22oz bomber from Lou’s. Amber-yellow body with a half inch of white head that dissipates rather quickly. Smells caramel malty with hints of hops and diacetyl. Tastes like caramel malt with a good balance of hops (English I think) and just a hint of citrus. Flavor is a bit lighter than expected, but rather pleasing. Lighter mouthfeel makes this a very drinkable and refreshing beer. Not what I’d expect from an APA, but a really good beer IMO, and at 2.29$, for a bomber, it’s a great deal!

Every brewer does it, they make what i call a budweiser to appease the masses, this is OPB’s budweiser. Pours a light yellow with a white fizzy head. Lighty and watery flavors with some hints of malt and yeast, but really hard to even get those out of it. I’ll steer away from this one i think :)

(22 oz. bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/augusta/lou’s-beverage-barn/4790.htm target=blank>Lou’s Beverage Barn) Pours a very slightly hazy orange-yellow. Medium-sized head, white. Poor lacing. Aroma of light malt, earth, hay or something. Definitely on the light-bodied, watery side. Has some nice mild malty flavor, nothing objectionable but definitely in the lawnmower category. Finishes kind of dry. A cheap thirst-quencher with at least some decent mild malt flavor.
