COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Similar in color to our Amber, but without the hops bitterness, flavor and aroma. A very malty brew and a great introduction to craft beer.

This is what it’s designed to be, a sessionable, malty ale. Looking much like an amber ale, there’s also brownish tints to the body that’s topped with a modest head. The nose and taste are a sweet lightly toast malt, a touch of soft nuts, and an almost negligible earthy bitterness to balance it out. Okay.

Tried this one out on tap while up judging the Drunk Monk Challenge but didn’t have time for good notes... all I wrote down was "Delicious - their best beer while here!"
