Beer Fridays VI

From the Scottish cauldrons of the Broughton Brewery comes Merlin's Ale, an elixir that transports you to a mystical realm of wenches, trolls, and nerds with its temptingly smooth and crisp flavor. This apple and pear saturated thirst quencher is somewhat flat, but fills ones belly with a certain calm after a dangerous quest of slaying dragons and pulling swords from stones to pick the locks of comely maidens' chastity belts. It is an unaggressive brew of sweet malt that can be enjoyed by wizards and warriors alike, but could use some added bite for the more rugged hero. (C+)
