It’s vacation time for the staff of the Brit and Yankee, so we are filling in with a couple of short shows containing Instant Brew Reviews.  Mark and Phil come across a variety of brews on their travels, and we’d like to share them with you, and give you our opinions and comments on them.  If you come across them as well, drop us a line at pints@thebritandyankee.com and we’d like to hear your thoughts as well.  Cheers!

Brewery Description: This beer pours bright with a deep amber hue. The aroma is dominated by malty bread notes and contains little, to no, hop character. A significant roasted maltiness is clearly present in the flavor, with a balancing sweetness on the back end.
