Draft sample at the Walnut brewery, as Walnut Buffalo Gold, 11/23/15
From the notes: Decent blonde ale with some light hop notes on the aroma and some malty hints too. Similar flavor. Lighter body and easy drinking. Not too bad, but nothing super memorable.

Flaska från SB. En trött röd ipa. Mest karamell i doft och smak som kanske för tankarna till knäck och lite tallskott som kanske för tankarna till julgranen. Utan fel men heller inte särskilt spännande. Bättre lite varmare än kylskåpskall då kommer lite mer av de fina kolanyanserna fram. Ok.
