Good gateway beer that brings alot of people over from the BMC craze. Other then Sierra Neveda, this was one of the first craft beers that I tried that I really enjoyed. Over the years this belgium ale has become more visible in pop culture and is bringing micro brews into the mainstream. It's popularity I think is in part due to it's attractive label for most non-craft drinkers. Whatever the reason, anything that brings people away from the bud light scene is a good thing in my humble opinion.
