Yep, good beer does come in a can.
I’ve seen these sittin’ in the beer cooler for quite a while now and just never got the urge to pick up a six-pack — man, was I missin’ out.
The color is fantastic for a pale ale, it is a nice deep brownish-amber color that is very nice to observe. It poured from the can with a decent one inch head that quickly dissipated, it doesn’t however have very good lacing as it is quaffed. This is the kind of Pale Ale I dig, strong citrus upfront, then a lot of burnt caramel malt characters and finishing with a piney, bitter bite. It has excellent mouthfeel and the bitterness hangs around in your mouth for a while after a swig.
Really a great beer, if you’re going to a BBQ or shindig where you know there will be pint glasses available, this would be a great beer to take along. The new kids might look down on you for a bit thinking you brought a sixer of Bud Light cans or something — just smile, pour, let ‘em sip and politely accept their apologies.
