I'm struggling with whether or not I like it. It has a great malt backbone, and it screams Yellowbelly in flavor. But the lemon-y hops aren't really going so well with the dominant biscuit-y malt flavor. One sip it tastes pretty good, and the next sip I want to dump it down the sink. Really can't decide how I feel.

I kinda don't want to like Halifax beer as much as I do.  But, there it is. |
Dirty 'ol Town is pretty good, I have two more left in the fridge. Halifax is the beer capital of Atlantic Canada, for sure. Garrison is good, but I hear it doesn't even compare to some other microbreweries in the city like Good Robot. I haven't been to Halifax since the craft beer craze hit, last time I was there Keith's was pretty much the only local beer you could get.
