Notes:
This easy drinking refreshing golden ale is perfect for a day at the ballpark or hanging out at the tailgate. Balanced cereal notes, with honey suckle and a stable fruitiness. Subtly sweet, with an easy finish. Brewed for and in collaboration with the Chicago White Sox.
5.0 ABV, 25 IBU.
Hops: Brewers Gold, Amarillo, Cascade
Malts: 2-row, rye

12 oz can, best-by date of 06/29/21 stamped on bottom, poured into a pint glass.
A: Slightly hazy golden color with a half-finger head that receded to a thin film.
S: Light fruity sweetness with just a hint of mild hops.
T: Smooth doughy malt sweetness up front. Hop bitterness is a little more intense than the nose would suggest. Certainly adds complexity, but perhaps undercuts its goal of being a summer crusher just a bit.
F: Medium bodied, well-carbonated, smooth finish.
O: A well-balanced ballpark beer. Tony LaRussa would approve.
