On tap at Bar Gernika. Clear deep reddish amber. Straight forward β€œ Normal” BW. Somewhat English in flavors but American strength. Classic toasted malts and subtle pineyness. Flavors are a little β€œhot” or spicy, like a touch of rye maybe: I suspect this will fade and smooth out after a while. I hope they squirrel away some of this and bring it out next winter. Very good.
