Distributed in 30 states and DC, mostly east of the Mississippi, through the breweries in Pottsville, Tampa and Fort Worth. In Pennsylvania it is everywhere beer is sold: cases and kegs at beer distributors, six-packs and twelve-packs at licensed grocery and convenience stores, and draft at most bars. The Beer Finder searches by brand and zip code, and the Pottsville gift shop sells beer to take home.

Aroma

Light caramel malt and a touch of corn sweetness.

Appearance

Deep amber and clear with a thin white head.

Taste

Smooth caramel malt, mild sweetness and just enough hop to balance. Clean finish.

Overall

Not fancy, not trying to be. The default beer of Pennsylvania for good reason.
