12 oz. Bottle

Pours a pretty nice clean/clear golden yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice small creamy off-white head, which leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, some malts, citrusy. The taste is hoppy, kinda malty, citrusy. Medium body. Overall, a pretty tasty brew.

A touch hazy light golden color, white head and little to no lacing. Not fragrant with some hop and more grain. Very light flavor and body. Slight bitterness on finish. Low carbonation.

Where's the flavor? This may be the most non-descript microbrew I've ever had. What is this, a pale ale, or Milwaukee's Best?

Light bodied, easy drinker. Easy to see why this was changed from an IPA, unless the ingredients changed. A nice light bodied pale ale isn't as appreciated now as much as it used to be
