I used to think it was ok back when I was trying every micro-brew under the sun. That was before I found the Biergarden in Portsmouth VA. A German restaurant and Pub owned by this old Geman couple. After trying about every beer from around the world, I would have to say there are very few good beers made in America. Now if I am going to have a Pale Ale, I go get a Samual Smith's
Try La Fin Du Monde...with is a bottle conditioned beer with a kick in the ass. A very refined taste. From Canada.
