Historical Community Tasting Notes

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

low price point, perfect ABV, warm and inviting color, perfectly hopped....most sessioniable beer ever -- taking the cake only from regular SN pale ale. id buy a few skids of this if i could.
Great balance for a IPA. Floral pine hops with a well balance malt. Medium orange amber color with a decent amount of head. A great winter beer.
On tap: redish amber color, warm and inviting taste. A little hops and some bitter citris, but not bad for the holidays.
