    This beer taste great on tap! Bottles are phenominal. Not too bitter, I grab a 12 every now and again, when ice cold it is wonderful.

    My reach-for-it anytime beer! I've never had a bad experience with this beer. From the tap it's excellent and in the bottle, it's still really, really good.

    Very fizzy, almost to the point of it being like a pop (soda or soft drink) instead of a beer. It's bland and innocuous, an adequate session beer, something to have if someone else is buying but probably not one that I would buy for myself.

    This is probably my staple ale to go to when i dont have a great selection of craft beers to choose from. Pours a tad flat but drinks smoothly. Nice malty flavor. Has a nutty finish and a bit biscuity.

    Lunatics broth as it's known in some circles is simply awesome. If I was doing my version of desert island "beers" and I could only pick one this would probably be it.

    beerwolf77's review really nails the details when it comes to the aroma and flavor, so all I can add is that it has a great flavor that stays on the palette long after the first sip and even though it isn't loaded with hops, it has enough so that you don't feel cheated.

    Cheers!
