With more than 1,400 American breweries operating today, those that are not creative are in trouble. Name and label fill the bill for creativity and so does the beer. More golden than amber, the nose is bread-like, clean and refreshing. The sweetness of malt is predominate on the palate with just enough hops to lend character. The finish is pleasant and fruity. Recommended with Buffalo wings, as the sweetness of the malt would be a fine complement to anything spicy.

Amber brew with light aroma; very slight hint of caramel. Wonderful head clings to glass. Full malt texture. Loaded on the sweet side with vanishing hop bitterness. Full bodied texture. Lean on aftertaste. Neither radical nor robust, yet perhaps a go-to beer for those who conspire to move from a pedestrian beer.
