This bourbon infused ale is bursting with flavour. Notes of vanilla, caramel and fig compliment this light bodied and well balanced ale. Try one today! Well, the can is in your hand so I assume you already are - Cheers!

355ml can. Pours a clear orange-amber with a medium, foamy, short lived, off-white head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, fig, vanilla, oak, light bourbon and floral hops. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, vanilla, oak, bourbon and spicy hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Smooth, easy drinking. The bourbon is subtle, which is nice.

Middling clear gold body and no foam, very vague lager hops on the nose. Flavour is what exactly - some lager and sweetness, no malt, nor hops really? Damn, I miss Space Jam. Bugs Bunny would never drink a beer like this.

On tap at Red Truck, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out crisp biscuity malt, gentle floral hops, and some spiciness. Flavour is quite grainy and spicy, with gentle earthy hops, and crisp biscuity malt. Bright and clean. Well-made.
