Draft at Old Dominion Beer Festival 2005... Sparkling clear amber ale with a small, fizzy, white head. The aroma and flavor are well-balanced and unoffensive, but there’s not much going on. Light to medium-bodied and watery with lively carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish.

Old Nick Pale Ale-on tap-pours a white head that laces and gold color. Aroma is medium malt-some sweet. Taste is medium malt-some sweet, medium hops-bitterness. Balanced. Nice easy drinking. OK carbonation. 3.7

Bottle courtesy of dkachur. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of caramel, citrus, earthy, roses, light spice. Tastes earthy and lightly bitter with some sage and citrus. Great al around beer.
