12 oz.bottle, $1.50 loose @Binny’s. Bought this in March, added the listing here in April, and I’m still first to rate this. Poured in a glass handled mug. Kicks up a big stiff head over an amber body, well filtered so there is nothing to see but busy bubbles. Smell is a little faint, but lets some lighter Crystal malts through, and a bit of American bittering hop. Actual drinking is pretty easy. My expectation of steam beers is that there is usually bittering only, like with Northern Brewer hops, and little aroma hop, and that’s what this has. Clean malt package kept puckery by those hops. A big and slightly unrefined flavor to put you in mind of a frontier tavern beer.
