    This brew pours a bright clear amber body with an aroma of nuts, caramel and cinammon. moderately malted, small thin white head with plenty of fruitiness. Finishes a little off dry.

    its kind of boring... i guess it fits the style though. i prefer darker, fuller beers. but for a pale it does ok. its got a bit of a hoppy aftertaste... so its ok

    Looked nice after the pour, however little to no head. The color was great though. The taste and mouthfell were good. For the beer man or the novice, I recommend a try.

    poured a wonderful amber color, the head was nice and white. A creamy taste, with a hint of caramel. i would drink it again, not a bad amber overall.

    Light gold color, medium head. A full bodied ale. Mild malts and hops. Mellow full flavor. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is smooth and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. A nice mild tasty beer

    Blah. It looked pretty, but I like to drink 'em, not look at 'em. Poured nice rich red color, clear as day and left nice lacing on the glass. There wasn't a lot of taste in this one, though, and what was there was bitter (not hop bitter, just...um...bitter). Oh well, at least I can say I tried.

    Smooth beer with noticeable but balanced hops. Beautiful amber color and an average head. Had it Flagstaff over a few games of pool and would take it over standard American macros, but it wasn't all that.

    A nice smooth barley aroma is connected with John Courage. The appearance is beautiful with a rich amber color and full, frothy head. The taste is quite smooth and enjoyable. I recommend giving this one a try!

    The aroma is of spices with some sweetness and is hard to place. The appearance is a hazy light amber with good carbonation and a white, stringy head that sits on top. The mouthfeel is light to medium in body with moderate complexity. The flavor is creamy with hints of figs or spices and very flavorable with a nice finish that is smooth. Overall, this one is similar to a newcastle and better than I expected. It also is creamy and smooth and is a pleasure to drink.
