For those of you living in the Indianapolis / neighboring area, you've definitely heard of this brewery, and if not you need to get on your game. Sun King is one of, if not the largest brewer in Indy and the only one that actually packages their beers to sell in stores around the area. Their Wee Mac beer is one of their consistent favorites and one that they can, so you can buy it in four packs. I was downtown the other day and dropped in to get a growler, and decided to review this Hoosier beer standard.

This is a Scottish Brown ale, which means that it is going to have little bitterness from the hops and mostly defined by some caramel and malty flavors. It essentially is a more flavorful medium body ale, and a good middle ground beer. Sun King adds toffee into the mix to enhance the malty flavor with a little more edge to it. This would be the place to start for people looking to expand their beer repertoire; it's not a basic pilsner and the malt infusion and toffee flavoring adds complexity to a light / medium body.
