Commercial Description:
The brewer has produced an homage to the General’s magnificent escape in the spring of 1778. A self-imposed test of his skill and talent, the brewer has (hopefully) created a Belgian-inspired, low-alcohol brew that still has the flavor to match its high-octane brethren. He does warn not to expect a trend, however! 1.9% ABV, 8 IBU

On draft at the brewpub. Poured deep brown with a skim of head. Surprisingly nutty flavor. VERY thin and watery, which is not surprising. The brewer gets props from me for pulling off a semi-decent beer at only 1.9%.

From the tap poured a clear brown color with a small amount of head. Nice flavor malty, but kind of watery.

on tap-pours a thin rich tan head and red color. Aroma is medium malt-caramel, nutty. Taste is medium malt-caramel, nutty/peat/smoky, English hops at mid-taste and after taste. It varies from medium body to watery/thin body.

Wow my first low alcohol! Now I just have to find a Faro. This one poured to an amber color with a medium head. Aroma is nutty, malty and somewhat appetizing. Flavor has a light nutty/malty flavor that reminded me of a Mild ale. Not bad - I applaud the effort but just not enough there for my liking.

Draft at the pub. Medium brown color with medium off white head. Aroam of caramel, and nutts. The flavor was the same with good lightly roasted nutty finish. Thinner body. This was no bad for a low alchol brew.
