Handwritten notes: My first foray into this craft-brewed beer brewed on my doorstep... I kind of feel like a kid at a rock concert: "Yeah!!!! St. James!!! I work in that neighbourhood!!!"... really, this is quite a pleasant beer . I have to be honest and say that's I've seen this Half Pints stuff for about 5 months now and never bought it because the packaging is so plain and boring. That makes me hate myself, but so be it. At least now I know. The only problem I had is that it smells a bit yeasty, like baked bread, but not in a good way, like if you had the flu and all you wanted to do was barf and your mom started making bread. But the taste, wow! It took me right back to being 18 years old and drinking Big Rock Pale Ale. Nice solid flavours that make you want more. Malty goodness abounds.
