355ml can. Pours a hazy copper with a medium, frothy, long lasting, beige head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet, mild aroma of caramel malt, honey, nuts, bread and citrus. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, honey, hazelnut and citrus with a dry, hoppy, bitter grass finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. I’m told the ’Mh’ on the label means it’s a contract brew for the Maddhatters nightclub next door to the brewery. Ok, but the ’Bow Chika Wow Wow’ factor was missing.

Well I take issue with the idea of a "downtown" in Grand Prairie... there are merely some sections of town with buildings slightly higher than others. Embrace your rurality, GPers! I mean, you ain’t Edmonchucks nor anythingz and there’s not anything wrongz with that. This is another 355ml can - not found in Edmonton by the by, they’z just not got the whole pictures on the whole deal of craft beer in northern Albertas I tells you. It’s got great head, really solid stuff, and a slightly foggy copper for a body that is not bad at all. The aroma is a lot of sweet hazelnut, very new-world kinda beer with those refined characteristics but still well done. Flavour is certainly a honey finish over top of malts that are trending towards watery. I dunno, it’s certainly not awful and is well made but doesn’t stand out.
