Enjoy it year-round.

I brew this beer year-round and have it on tap for friends and family who don't care for a "heavy beer". While it's light and refreshing (your typical lawnmower beer), it's a great tasting beer. Here's how it got its name... I first brewed this beer about six years ago. Living in the country, I enjoy spending summer evenings outdoors. One evening, I was watching the moon come up and drinking this cream ale. Over on the next ridge, I could hear coyotes howling. The "call of the wild".
