This is a very good and smooth Pale Ale that pours dark amber with a nice thick cream colored head. The body is light and full of hops, which leaves a clean lingering bitterness when you drink it. This beer is one of my favorites, and never disappoints. The only drawback with this case was that one of the bottle had broken at some point so I only have twenty-three to drink. Cheers!
