Notes:
In the beautiful Okanagan valley rests a small little brewery called Tin Whistle. Nicely packaged with a picture of the ole No.1 Kettle Valley line train, this beer has a nice balance of flavor for a mild ale. It has a sweet taste with a molasses aftertaste which isn't too overbearing. It covers the whole tongue, leaving a slight bitter aftertaste. It is probably the kinda beer that would give you noticeable beer breath, and you probably don't want to have too many of these. I bet this beer would be awesome on tap.

The brewery's name reminded me of that highly successful band David Bowie had after his serious moonlight tour... Anyone?
