Lordy, what a great little brew. Hoppy without being spiteful, amber without being dull, American Bitter gives up an astounding amount of goodness for such a small beer. The hops are first and foremost on the palate, citric, herbal, and moderately bitter, but the IBUs slowly fritter away to nothingness as the beer rolls into a modestly dry, smooth, malt-tinged finish. And, since it’s only four percent, might as well finish the growler. And the next one. And that one you were saving for Timmons.
