A biere de garde that they made with Pete Slosberg, who was one of the original famous craft brewers (late 80s I think). Unfortunately, the oddball ingredients don't really work in this one. Pale amber. Bright. Cacao and vanilla are odd but it’s medium-dry, good pale malt. However, the cacao and vanilla don't really come together with the base.

Slightly hazy, thin head. Smells like sticky malt. Similar palate. Touch of hop but plasticy.

Bright gold, nice carbonation, medium head. Soft peachy fruit, almost too soft, could benefit from a bit more bitterness.
