DEEP CREEK’S DUSTY GRINGO
Description: Dusty Gringo India Brown Ale represents the rugged edge of the Wild West cowboy. A swig of this tasty brew charges your senses with the aromas of a mountain range of malt, and a hop kick reminiscent of that trusty steed’s hoof. The floral and citrus flavours imparted from the hops, ride on a powerful chocolate malt base. A strong companion to explore the badlands.
