Sampled at the downtown location near the new arena this was a solid sessionable beer. At just around 4.5% it isn’t heavy but does have enough depth to be more than fizzy alcoholic water. This is actually a BBC release not to avoid.

Aroma / Appearance - Rosy red and warm the body has a good amber tint. Nutty and sweet the nose is like a cheap bag of chocolate chips. Gentle hops sooth the palate and provide a frame of reference for the malts.

Flavor / Palate - Soft hops easily transition to a soft sweet finish. Light nuttiness tempts the palate after a short delay. This is a good lunch beer if you have other things to do and don’t want the bitter taste of resin in your throat afterwards.
