General Sherman is named after the biggest tree in the world, a giant sequoia found in California, and is an imperial version of our American Amber Ale, Sequoia. It pours a welcoming mahogany colour and is packed with West Coast American hops, which exude booming aromatic notes of papaya and mango. Full bodied with a rich mouthfeel, the general delivers resinous pine, apricot and marmalade on the palate.
