Pretty much exactly what a mild ale is supposed to be. There’s a bit of caramel malt, but it’s not heavy in the least. A bit of hops linger around the edges, but definitely not hoppy. This is a great session beer.

The first time I had this one it was dry hopped with Willamette hops via a cask firkin. Creamy and smooth. Today its on tap. Pours clear, solid copper color, thin white head. Nice caramel aroma, some calming citrus. Flavor is a light malt. Very balanced. Light hop character. Just right. Light bodied, full flavored. THE ULTIMATE SESSION. Cheers!
