I grew up near Willimantic so I'm considerably biased but it's definitely a go to favorite when I go out with my friends and/or family!

On-tap 8/4/13 at the brewpub in Willimantic, CT, served in a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a deep gold color, with a thin white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is faint but contains caramelized malts, some citrus and some hops.
T: The taste starts out very bready with a hearty malt character for the style. Then some mild caramel and citrus sweetness comes in. The hops presence is mild but complementary and brings some balance. The after-taste is slightly bready.
M: Crisp and smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is clean.
O: Tasty, goes down very easily, not too filling, mild kick, good representation of style, this is a solid beer to session with for a long time.
