Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

good head strong palate with just the right bitterness for me. very drinkable and has become my personal standby when i cannot find something affordable in an ale or stout.
Bottle. Dark amber color with medium head that did not last long. Aroma was milt with hoppy tone. Flavor was good combo of bitter and hops.
This was a thin, weak, watery beer. Dark amber with off-white head. Salty nose. Very blah. Dont waste your time.
