" Twiggy Ale "

This "Twiggy Ale " was the result of an indecision between making an IPA or a
Honey Larger so they were combined. The Twiggy taste is generaged from the
"Leatherwood" Honey from Tasmainia in Australia (Down Under). The Honey adds
a wooded taste to the light Ale. A note of warning, Dont be too generous with
the Honey as it can be a very strong taste. Cheers !
