Steve: This is a pure session ale. It's not terribly challenging on the senses, with a caramel-like color, and light hop aroma and taste. I think if someone was used to drinking nothing but pale light lagers, I would push them towards this so they can get a feel of what hops can do to a beer, before promoting them to bigger, hoppier beers. So, I'd say this is more of an introductory craft beer, or as I said a session beer when you're drinking all evening and want consistency with not a lot of alcohol. I think the organic barley and hops were wasted on this beer, because there's nothing else special about it. (2/5/2012)
