Woodstock’s description:

Pigs Ear Brown Ale won Grand National Champion for brown ales at the United States Beer Tasting Championships in 2004 and 2006. Medium bodied with a balance of roasted and crystal malts creating a hearty nutty flavor. Medium bitterness with a slightly sweet finish.
O.G. 1.054 / 25 IBUs / 4.3% abv

Even though it’s not a typical summer beer it sounds great (and has a “B” rating on BA).

Keg #39

Tapped 8/2/10 (before vacation)
