Unexpectedly came across this at Jax, Sandy Springs, Atlanta, GA, USA. Think it was about $4 for the 22oz bomber. Crazy label in line with Shmaltz off the wall marketing.
Pour is a simple, but nicely clear amber body with some good soapy head and lace. Lovely balance in the nose and on the palate. Very English style biscuit malts are complimented with a certain richness. Some bitterness in the hoppy(ish) finish. Lovely sweet, moreish and rich aftertaste for a lager. A little Brown Ale like. Really tasty.
Very light drinking, but at the same time very satisfying and tasty. An unusual combo of taste, drinkability and balance.
A brewery that I am growing to think more and more of with each passing beer. Excellent stuff.
