Round Corner Brewing - Mack Opus

What you need to know is that this Mack Opus has already been brewed in the past as a Best Bitter. Because of its success with beer lovers, Round Corner Brewing decided to do it again for our Beer Flavor Advent Calendar, the Beery Christmas. 

You will discover an American Brown Ale, in 33cl can format. 

From its name, Mack Opus, is a brown beer with a brown, mahogany color, topped by a fine beige foam, for aromas of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, dried fruits and caramel, accompanied by notes of marmalade and citrus-orange. It has the particularity of using the experimental hop variety CF-182, also known as Opus, which will add to the determination of this beer with new flavors. In terms of hop aroma and bitterness, it's well balanced with a silky mouthfeel that comes from the use of sweet malt. 

Unfiltered, as is usually the case with craft beers, you may get some deposits at the bottom of your bottle or in your glass when serving, which doesn't interfere with its enjoyment at all. If you wish to avoid this, we advise you to pour the beer gently and leave the end of the bottle in its container.  

It should be enjoyed at a temperature between 8 and 10°C with strong cheese.
