Beautiful golden look, with a thick hearty head. Bitter taste at first, but smooths out as it covers the entire palette. Not my favorite, yet would oder it again!

Drinking on tap at Newark Airport Phillips
Look - amber in color, full head that dissipates quickly, but with nice lacing
Smell - bread, biscuits, toasted malts. Very hearty smelling beer
Taste - slightly tart initially, and a strong bread/biscuit finish
Feel - light bodied, medium-high carbonation, refreshing and excellent pairing with seafood
Overall - nothing to write home about, but a good beer to pair with the food here

Had on-tap@ Phillip's Famous Seafood in the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport

Appearance - Served up in a pint, the brew is a relatively clear and copper in color. Served without a head, and not much lacing left as the brew is consumed.

Smell - Pretty typical amber aroma. Fair aroma of caramel and bread with faint touches of earth and grassy character.

Taste - Follows the nose. Decent amount of caramel and bready malt flavors that are met with a touch of estery, apple-ish character and hops that add a bit of bitterness as it rounds into the finish. I wouldn't call it bland, but there's nothing of particular interest here.

Mouthfeel - On the lighter side of medium-bodied with fair carbonation. Goes down smooth with a fairly crisp finish.

Overall - About what was expected. Decent flavor, but doesn't do much to excite the palate. It's just a good 'kick back and drink' kind of beer.

One of them old school east coast brews. I don’t know if it’s served exclusively at Phillip’s locations, or whatever. It might have once been, back when people cared about it.

Pretty, classic American pale pour. Filtered amber-orange with a nice white head.

Smells faint, perhaps a bit too chilled. Light fruit and a little bit of toffee. Pleasant, but even for its style it’s way too delicate.

Tastes like a classic, nearly hopless American pale ale. Big fruity malt up front, bright with nodes of Juicy Fruit gum, moving into a more biscuity middle, sweet toffee finish, and then just a little, teeny tiny bit of dry hops to balance the fruit on the finish. Very good for what it is.

Toasted malt is a little too overpowering here.
