Decent quality and flavor. Strong aftertaste.
OK ale have a few draughts it basically a run of the mill ale nothing special
One of my favorite ales. Used to get it on draft all the time. A nice easy beer ideal for St. Patrick's Day and any day of the year. Low alcohol content so you can have several. This reminds me to pick up a six pack if I can find one at my local beer store.
