Description
Penn Brewery began brewing craft beer back in 1986, making us one of the earliest pioneers in the American craft movement. We started out brewing classic lagers and German beer styles, adhering to the strict quality standards of the 16th-century Bavarian Reinheitsgebot purity laws. As we’ve expanded our lineup in recent years to include IPAs and other contemporary styles like chocolate and pumpkin beers, we’ve stayed true to our quality craftsmanship, brewing all of our beers by hand with top-tier barley and hops. We’re proud to say that Penn beers have won a total of twenty Great American Beer Festival® and World Beer Cup® medals.

Bottled. An amber beer with a light sediment floating under a thin white head. The aroma has notes of fruit and malt, as well as a light oxidation. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of fruit - peaches and oranges, as well as notes of malt, alcohol, and oxitation, leading to a dry fruity finish. The body is light inspite of the 8% ABV. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Hazy deep blond color. The aroma is light, too light malt and cereals. It has a light malt flavor, with some residual sweetness, and smooth mouthfeel; it feels like being old. Quite forgettable.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of goryshkewych. Clear deep golden with a small off-white head. Sweet malty aroma - a little oxidized perhaps. Medium body, sweetish malty and again perhaps a little oxidized with overripe fruit. Carbonation is a little low. Sweet malty finish, no real bitterness. A little over the top but still a decent drink. 220909
