tap at the brewery - Pours slightly hazy golden with a lingering white head. It smells mainly of pale malts. The taste is sweet with a little alcohol and a hint of fruit esters. It’s medium bodied and has a warming finish. This one’s alright, but doesn’t quite work for me. The regular Salvation is better (this beer is the Salvation recipe lagered).
