#15 of 1001 Brains S.A. by S.A. Brain & Company

I wrote yesterday about the differences between UK and American warning labels.  The label in yesterday’s photo came from a can of Brains S.A..  Brains is the major brewery in Wales and apparently consumed like water by local rugby fans.  (Bro, a rugby player, attests to this.)  This beer is their flagship beer and personally I find it representative of what a pint of British beer should be.

Tasting Notes:
Poured from a bottle creating a amber with an appropriate head.  A malt nose, but a faint hop aroma.  A smooth ale with a nice balance between hops and malt, and a dry finish.
