Near the checkout in the promotions area.
Bought a six pack for $16-17.
Tried one last night.
Ruby Red Brown. Certainly not as dark as the James Squire Porter.
I has a smooth honey malty start, then the special “Van Diemen†hops bitterness kicks in.
Never heard of these hops before. They are pretty harsh bittering, maybe more so than Pride Of Ringwood.
It seemed an odd combination at the start of the beer. Was getting used to it by the end.
Interesting beer non-the-less. Not like anything I’ve tasted before.
