Description:

This award winning brown ale is brewed to fit the american style category. Its deep mahogany colour is accented by dark ruby highlights and is topped by a fine light tan head. Munich and Caramunich malts combine to build a heavier body than its english brown counterpart. Dry hopping leads to a very hop forward nose. The flavouris well balanced and exhibits medium chocolate and caramel flavours.
