Comments:  "A Beast Of A Beer"  Old Thumper was created in 1979 by Ringwood Brewery in Hampshire, England.  It is brewed in the US soley by Shipyard.  It pours a light copper color with a nice 2 finger foamy white head, great lacing.  Starts with a sweet caramel, fruit & bready malt taste, ends with a nice dry hop finish.  EXCELLENT
