One of the boys am I, 

That always am in clover –

I’m always up to fun, 

Well known am I all over.

I’m nightly to be found 

At singing in my glory,

With your smiling faces round – 

Oh! Tis then I’m hunkydory!

– Tony Pastor, 1866

Being back home in Nova Scotia just makes me wanna dance a jig, smash some beers into me face and sing at the bar. Essentially, it turns me into a Hobbit. This beer, from Shelburne’s Boxing Rock Brewing Co. has got all kinds of flavour and excitement, but is still light enough to enjoy whilst causing a raucous. It’s an American Pale Ale, but infused with citrus zest and green tea (both of which are easily detectable on the nose). This is a brew that’s bright and lively and captures the spirit of Hunky Dory perfectly. Raise one to the crowd and scream your Cheers!
