Formerly "Mug Life"

A beer that really ties the room together... Our amber ale is carefully balanced and easy-drinking. A solid malty backbone is matched with just the right amount of hops for a full flavored beer that goes well with almost anything.

Pairs great with heartier dishes, jambalaya, steaks, pasta and desserts.

*Formerly "Mug Life" until a major producer of root beer sent us a letter...

Poured from a 16 oz can into a pint glass; no birth date. Pours amber / red with little to no foam or head; plenty of effervesent and bubbles visible. Tastes of subtle hops and burnt malt with no real discernable flavors. Okay.

16 ounce can with no discernible date.

Moderate pour yields a 3/4 inch white head over a cloudy amber body with sticky lacing.

Nose of malt foremost, with hops of more or less the floral variety.

Taste is malty sweet, with a hint of caramel, while finishing slightly bitter.

Good feel with medium carbonation.

Overall, not a bad representation of the style and I wouldn't turn down another.

Cheers!
