In 1878, 19-year-old William George Hughes left England, settled in Boerne, and became a prominent rancher. Willy died tragically in a train accident in 1902. This tribute English-style ale has just enough hop bite to counter its pale grain maltiness.

Nutty toffee malt and hay aroma. Dark amber with minimal head. Moderately sweet nutty toffee malt, and mildly bitter astringent fresh hay flavor. Okay body.

12 oz. Christmas present from Texas. Thanks MS! Pours an opaque very dark amber color with a tiny beige head and poor retention. Spots of lacing. Mild caramel aroma. Flat mouthfeel. The flavor is an odd mix of caramel, hops and light astringent alcohol. Not real smooth. It's not terrible but nothing I would seek out.
