    Not cheap, excellent and worth the price. I love it as a special treat for an English Bitter. And I break down and buy it every few months.

    Yeah, the TTB COLA and label itself only lists the Chicago brewery (permit BR-IL-FUL-15000) not the other AB plants, like most of the other nationally distributed GI labels and approvals do:

    ... suggesting it will be a local release only (getting popular for the large craft and ex-craft brands). Now, how AB-GI defines local, especially for a packaged (canned/bottled) beer... that's another question.

    If you can find it in your area, Yard's Brawler would be a great option to try.
    They are out of Philadelphia Pa, so I don't know how far they distribute.
    Belgian Pale Ale like Leffe Blond or Bruin might hit the spot?

    Also, maybe a German style Alt?
    Heh, if you can find one.

    I had that one a few times and loved it. Wish it came to RI.
