Brakeman's Session Ale

Post by G.M. Gillman »

I've had this on draft at the brewery and now canned and am much impressed by this beer. In the can, it is roughly filtered and I found (contrary to my usual inclination) you need to pour it "all in" to give it the right body and taste. Excellent, English-style bitter, quite a bit like I recall Young's Bitter or Holt's, say, in England. Yellow gold with a firm lemony Goldings character. Tops all the way.

I drank my first last night and feel like this will be a regular purchase as well.
