Notes: Wandering in the world of beer is simply full of surprises, so is browsing the shelves in City'super.  This time, it is really a good surprise for me.  Complex flavour, but still refreshing.  Relatively high ABV makes sure that the tade is intense enough.  Satisfying visually for the reddish brown colour (pale is just not that appealing to me).  Good!
