Spring Amber, Fizbin

Spring Amber, Fizbin

American Amber Ale • All Grain • 10 gal

FizBin

Spring version of the amber. Lighter, but with a little pep from the Galena hops to keep you interested, did very well at the Kentucky state fair, scored 39 but was beat by an outstanding pale from the BOCK team. He really did deserve the win.
