On the day I'm drinking this beer, 98 years ago actress Mae West went to prison for obscenity connected to her play 'Sex' she starred in. From that fable to this one, a full-bodied light sweet tropical fruit notes, strength a part too, but good clean texture.

At the Brewbar, it's a lovely smooth tasting traditional ale with a pretty glow to its clear texture.
