Payette Brewing named this after Idaho's rodeo heritage, and Mutton Buster is built like a working beer: sturdy, unpretentious, honest. Toasted caramel and cocoa malt give it warmth and depth at 5.5%; the 28 IBU bitterness stays well in the background. A brown ale that tastes like it belongs in a saddle bag. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
