Be careful. It is a surprising 6.2% ABV. A little high for a session beer in my fridge, but to each his own :)
I am a big guy I can handle it :wink:

I've wondered about this. On draught menus, I've seen 6.2%, on the bottle label it says 6%, and on the 6 pack box it says 6.5% (or maybe vice versa). Not that it matters hugely, but just wondering which one is correct...?
Yeah, we get mixed up pretty easy. A few batches were 6.5% and one was 6.2%. 6% is the proper posted gravity but we usually run the actual abv at 6.1-6.2% so it is confusing.

Peace,
Pete

Thanks Derek. I always believed in Santa; and it is true. He does exist.

I could be unlucky, but the beer is looking red.

Wow is that cascadian? Sure it's up to the light, but it should be darker than that.
Lately I've had a bit of consistency problem with their Hoptical (anything packaged Jan 25 or on). I've picked up 3 single bottles from 2 different batches, all with no hops but worse yet a weird almost garlic note.
To no surprise tho i'm still picking up a bottle every new batch i see. I think the few off-beers i've had just got me craving a good one more and more

I'll check into the garlic note tomorrow on the Jan date....was it keg or bottle? I just have to ask?
