Jun 10, 2006 When I had my first Benny’s, I thought it was pretty hoppy for an American Pale Ale. Even though they have the Don’t Panic pale ale, I would say the Benny’s is right there as far as hops and flavor. Great mouthfeel. Good aftertaste. Slip me a Benny’s!!!

Sep 11, 2005 1st batch on tap: Golden hue with a small head and okay lace. The aroma is that of fresh PNW hops, piney and grassy with grapefruit and apple notes. Dusty yeast esters as well. The taste is bitter and acidci with a nice bready malt background that work within the framework of the brew. A straight forward pale ale that is not over-the-top in hops. The feel is smooth and refreshing but not boring. I think this is a beer that would pair well with most food offerings. I liked it enough to order a full pint.

Sep 17, 2007 On tap at the brewery. Medum amber with no head. Aroma is a lot of American hops and some caramel. Bitter pine flavor is very pronounced but some malt backbone. Thin to medium sized body with min. carb. Pretty perfect APA.

Apr 17, 2007 This pours a light copper & gold body with a good-lacing fluffy white head. The aroma is pretty light, a soft caramel topped by pine & grapefruit. Nicely balanced in the flavor, if a bit thin. Light caramel flavors are evenly matched by the PNW bitterness, but the finish is prolonged and bitter. Not bad. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Brewery, Michigan City, IN<font size=-1>

Dec 17, 2006 Draft at the brew pub. Clear orange color with a white head that left a nice curtain of lace on the glass. Attractive grapefruity hop aroma. Tasted of malty caramel and citrusy hops. pretty standard, but one of their better offerings.

Dec 20, 2009 tap at the brewery - Pours copper colored with a caramel malt and hop aroma and some good lacing. The flavor is a typical pale ale with moderately strong hops, a touch of citrus, and caramel accented malt. It’s medium bodied and just a straightforward APA.
