I am the Barber of a guy that was the distributor of the H & L products. Thanks to him I have tried all of the H & L products. Backdraft is their best product.
Backdraft is in the vein of a Sam Adams. More of everything. More of a stand-alone beer. Not light like the Golden Ale.
Anchor Steam is a great beer too.
Also, after serving in the US Army for 2 years in Germany, I learned to appreciate beers of greater substance. In more recent years domestic offerings have improved, but when I was over there the beer was great!
The closest thing to that authentic German beer experience that is readily available here is Warsteiner. Please try it.
The one I had wasn't too good. Someone gave it to me, so maybe my sample was old. Oh, well...

Try it after a long, hot summer day. It can't be beat.

Unfortunately Pennichuck Brewery went out of business in Nov 09. The one you are reviewing here was one of their key brews.

I have a couple good local stores that have a nice selection. I sometimes travel a bit to get good beers for the reviews.
Have a great one,

As always, great review.
