Good stuff as usual from Avery. It has a year or more of bottle age in my refrigerator. It’s become nice and murky, brownish with as strong aroma of wheat and bread, dominated by malt but nicely balanced by careful use of hops. Love it.... too bad it’s gone.... one to fourteen and fifteen Snojerk321 (952), San Diego, California, USA Jul 4, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a dark murky brown with a fizzy beige dome.
