Notes:

Consensus among beer drinkers at MMA viewing was this one was better than the lighter cream of three crops variant (work glove slapped). the munich added enough flavor to balance the hops. Definitely would brew again. Seemed to get better with some cold aging.

Notes:

has a yeasty flavor, slightly sweet aftertaste. not as good as the original brunette on rye series i brew. Still a decent beer.
