Rating: 3

Joby J:
Drinkability is high, I would consider it along the lines of a Miller Lite or Bud Light. I could see myself throwing back a few of these during a game.
Rating: 6

Adam H:
Starts off with a sweet flavor, finishes off dry.  Every time it keeps you going back for more beer. I would drink it at a tailgate or BBQ but I wouldn't shop for it.

Amber-colored, medium-bodied British-style ale with a smooth, mildly-hoppy character.

Notes from the Beersperts:
Scott B:
Mild hoppy taste, unusual for a pale ale.
A woody, nutty taste with not much of an aftertaste.
Good beer, I wouldn't go out of my way to find it though.
Rating: 6

Joby J:
I could see myself drinking this as a session beer.
After drinking a couple drinks it grew on me.
I could see myself ordering it at a bar.
Rating: 6

Adam H:
Given the choice between this pale ale and others I would choose this because of the lack of hoppyness.
I could pick up some fruit notes with a caramel finish.
