title: Why can't I access protected variable in subclass?
body: <p>I have an abstract class with a protected variable</p>
  
  <pre><code>abstract class Beverage
  {
          protected string description;
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can't access it from a subclass. Intellisense doesn't show it accessible. Why is that so?</p>
  
  <pre><code>class Espresso:Beverage
  {
      //this.description ??
  }
  </code></pre>
