“This seasonal definitely has its cult following, “ said Sherry Jennings, director of sales and marketing at Diamond Knot. “It’s already on the shelves at local retailers and on tap in the region; and it was released yesterday. Even our wholesale customers are excited to get it flowing. Maybe it’s just spring fever and the promise of longer days ahead, but whatever it is, this beer makes us all smile.”
Slane’s will keep smiles going all spring long with its sweetish, caramelly aroma that gives way to a bold, distinctly malty flavor with a smooth creamy finish.
