Identity crisis here...it's also known as J-L Brewing and as TJ's Bar and Grill. Two fairly inoffensive beers, but a fun game room.

Says the bartender, "The Golden Ale looks a little flat...I wouldn't recommend it." She was right. Yellow, cloudy. Big sparse bubbles. Very malty aroma...pale malt, not crystal. Thick. Good maltiness. Sort of flat.
