A medium-bodied amber ale with a hefty dose of hop bitterness, flavor and aroma. This authentic American Pale Ale was brewed especially for the Saint Charles, Missouri Lewis & Clark Bicentennial Commemoration.

Pours a nice barely cloudy amber with mid to small white head that leaves a trace of itself. There's mix of grass/ herb/ citrus hop smells, none of which predominate- they're balanced in such a way that you have a hard time picking them out. Tastes nice; toasted malt kinda taste. Reminds me of aromatic malt a little. Bitterness is nicely balanced. No single hop flavor predominates, but citrus is there. Feels good and smooth in the mouth, easy to plan on one and having three.
Overall very nice. Not the most complex ale, but nice balance. One of their beers that I consider for day- to day having around.

A: Pour a clear orange/reddish color. A two finger white head forms with good retention. Rings of lace are left behind.
S: Piny, grassy, floral hops with a bot of a grapefruit kick up front. Bread and biscuit malts along with a caramel sweetness. Enjoyable.
T: Follows the nose with a fairly large hop flavor up front. Pine, grassy, floral flavors. Citrus and grapefruit rind. There is a sharp contrast between the hops and malt. As soon as the hops fade to nothing, a caramel malt sweetness shows up. Along with a bread an biscuit malt flavor. Again, enjoyable.
M/D: A medium body with moderate carbonation. Crisp, clean, and refreshing. Very easy and enjoyable to drink. I can quaff a few without a problem.
Like I have said several times, this is enjoyable. That is it, something that is very good and easy to drink. It goes good with food, and just an all around enjoyable (there it is again) drink. Recommended and well done.
