A dark amber color with seriously estery
aromas, the flavor balance of the John Martin has hops over malt.
Well-carbonated, the medium-bodied brew offers a dry and rough malty flavor
with a very dry finish. The Cubana '59 is brewed with rum for
distribution by John Martin. A clear gold color, this 4.5% brew is
medium-bodied with a clean, even flavor balance. The light malty flavor
combines with a very light rum-like sweetness before the light hops and CO2
character all mix together in a well-balanced finish. Very interesting!
