Notes

Dry City American Amber Ale

1/ Brewed in Pinelands, Cape Town, South Africa.
2/ Pinelands is the only suburb in South Africa that is NOT ALLOWED to have an off-sales bottle store! Hence the "Dry City" name.
3/ This brew was intended for an annual home-brew competition in Cape Town but missed the deadline.

4? **** This turned out to be a winner, four stars.
