An amber ale. Lots of lace, light grapefruit flavour, very hoppy. Not so balalnce, about average for their lineup, the coffee porter being the one standout. They need to learn to present hops. Just using C hop alone does not make a brewpub.Sorry, expecting more from an Anniversary Ale.

On tap at ABC.

Simply put...outstanding. Gold medal winner at the Great American Beer Fest, and justly so. According to the beer keep (who was very knowledgeable) double hopped to balance out the heavy malts. She was correct.

Warming nose feel, accompanied by a sweet, and over-bearing hop profile. Strong backbone, that does not hurt its drinkability. All of these characteristics were enhanced because of it freshness. My moniker!

Very nice.
