SNPA is a great value that can be consistently obtained at less than $1/bottle. Maybe not the best, but the the world is a better place with this option on the shelf.

Like it, strong bite.

This beer may have been considered good when it was first released, but it doesn't really stand up to the competition anymore. Yes, it's got a citrusy-piney hop flavor, but it's unpleasantly acidic and the malt really doesn't show up to balance: the aftertaste leaves a lot to be desired. Better than Bud, but that just doesn't cut it in today's beer world.

America's standard pale ale. I'm not a pale ale fan, so my review is perhaps too subjective. But I do wish this beer was a little little lighter in the finishing hops, which distract from any clean malt or citrusy flavors that are found in most American pale ales. Could be more complex. Refreshing, though.

Just very solid to me, if I can get a great production date, I buy it.

12 ounce can. Overall a great option for a can. Slight hop bitterness and crisp carbonation

classically smooth, drinkable, and well balanced ... blended is what comes to mind, and neither hops nor maltiness dominate. probably one of the better in its class, my 3 star rating is only because i like it more hoppy.
