Notes

The "Night Tiger" is a brown tree snake. It has alternating brown and white stripes hence "Tiger". Found in the Taylors Beach area. Feeds on nesting birds while hunting at night.

Beer is based on Fullers London Pride.

This beer has a good balance of Malt and Hops. Good hop finish
Very good beer.
