This is a traditional Welsh Mild. The brown and chocolate malts add a wonderful nutty flavor and provide a rich amber color. The Carastan contributes a smooth and full body. With the addition of the Irish moss, this beer comes out crystal clear with no chill haze. This beer goes down so smooth, it's hard to brew enough of it. Enjoy!
