This is our Ol’ Faithful. No, it’s not a geothermal phenomenon. It’s the beer everybody, including professional beer judges, just seems to dig. Maybe they like how it’s smooth, medium-bodied, and semi-sweet, while not too heavy or bitter. Maybe it’s the amber color, or the blend of four imported malts balanced by two Germanic hops, or the fact that it takes five weeks to get right. Or maybe it’s all the above.

Terrible in just about every way, with slack carbonation and nary a bit of foam in sight. Tastes soda-sweet, with a corn-caramel sweetness and no hops. Just a piss-poor take on the style.

Bottle. Pours slightly cloudy dark amber with small foamy off-white head, bready malt aroma, high carbonation, light malt taste with a hint of citrus, thin body, abrupt finish. Not bad at all.

Tap at Mike’s in MD. Medium bodied, pleasant caramel malt tones. A pinch thin for the style. No off tones, just a little simplistic, streamlined. OK.
