Blue can as recommended by a friend. It lacks a little in the hefe arena if your are looking fo bubblegum and clove. Also I'd say its probably more like a belgian white in taste. Perhaps a little orange in the background? Gentle, fairly easy. Like able. Friendly, would never know this is 5%. Reminds me a bit of michelob of same style. Not bad, pretty civilized for a domestic version of this.

Got this from a friend and its surpizingly on style for a macro style IPA. Smells like IPA, has a big double IPA thud on the palate and its otherwise a very good IPA. I hate the stuff but whatever. So, the lower my numbers the more its like a ubiquitous IPA. Go figger. A little darker than pale and exceptionally clear. As a lager lover, this is one style I'll never get used to.

It's actually not terrible. Yes, cleaning out the RBS fridge the last two nights.

Draft at B Squared, NYC. Pale gold and clear with a white head. Aroma/taste of cereals, corn, apple juice notes. Not that great.

Compliments of jwc215. Thanks again, Joe!
This pours from 12oz bottle a slightly hazy orange with a nice healthy head of foam that shrinks to a fine layer and it has some lacing.
The smell is a nice mix of hoppy bitterness and some bready and sweet malt notes.
The taste on first sip has some sweet malt and some bready notes that is followed by a hop oil flavour and a bit of citrus and just a tiny bit of grass. Interesting.
Swishing the beer in my mouth, the hop oil is the most noticeable flavour that I can detect, followed by the bread, and I'm finding it quite pleasing.
Further sips in and I'm noticing that the finish has a lemony taste to it and that's something that I thinks detracts from my overall enjoyment of this Pale Ale. Lose that and I'd give it higher marks.
Bottom line: A good Pale Ale that could be better if...see my remarks. ;^) I'd still say try it.

From old tasting notes. Brilliant deep gold color. Big rocky white head. Light hop aroma with an obvious grainy character. Zesty sweet malt flavor has decent body. Semi dry finish. Brief dry hop aftertaste.
