ABV – 5.2%
Colour – Amber
IBUs – ~25
Legend Rating - Anytime - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Instead, expect light hints of caramel and bread with a slightly dry, not too sweet finish. This is a beer that can be enjoyed on a warm afternoon in the sun as much as on a cool patio in the evening.

Our twist on the traditional British red ale is brewed with Cashmere hops, and a mix of four malts: Honey, Melanoidin, 2-row, and Roasted Barley. A distinct sweet malt, nutty and spice flavour gives way to warming chocolate, molasses and honey undertones with vanilla, caramel and dried fruit aroma.

Stopped by the new Treehouse location off I-91 on my way to my parents.

I feel guilty for taking up this much of the basement fridge 😅

I’m normally closer to Carlton, but when in the neighborhood I swung by the Deerfield place this summer. It was under construction, but obviously massive… so what on earth do they have planned for the place? Well, they announced this week that they’ve installed a world class theater. First performer - Iron & Wine - apparently sold out instantly. Those guys print money.

That makes sense. It looked like an old office building or high school of some kind that they were using but only like the back half of it. I was wondering what they were going to do with the rest of it
