COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
If you’re Grandpa is anything like mine, he loves beer! Sadly, my Grandpa passed away nearly nine years ago, before he could experience the craft beer explosion in Minnesota, or try any of my brews at Barley John’s. I brewed this beer on what would have been his 100th birthday. Brewed from artesan, floor-malted, single strain Maris Otter and Golden Promise barley – only the best for grandpa! A perfectly balanced beer – not too hoppy, not too malty, not too strong, not too light, not too dark – just right! This beer is brewed in tribute of Grandpas everywhere – let’s raise a glass! Prost!

Tap at the brewpub. Pours amber with a lot of foamy head. Some caramel, and good hop flavor. I like this quite a bit, though it doesn’t stand out.

On tap at the brewpub, dark amber pour, aromas of malt and roast, bit of sweetness. Taste is caramel and malt, not bad for an amber. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Amber pour with a creamy head. Aroma is malt, caramel and mild hops. Flavor is malty and mildly hoppy. Decent.

UPDATED: JAN 1, 2014 Tap at the brewpub. Rich amber pour with a very sticky foamy cream head. Slight caramel malt and a slight hop edge, this is well balanced if somewhat mild.
