Notes
It Takes 2 because this beer is for my sons wedding and It Takes 2.
This was intended to be a Labatt Blue CLONE. Labatt Blue is a well-balanced, fully matured, full flavoured lagered beer with a fruity character and a slightly sweet after taste. Labatt Blue uses specially selected German (Hallertau) aromatic hops and has no preservatives. 5abv 3.9abw classic pilsner-lager
