The historical A-1 brand has returned. During the 1940s and ’50s, Arizona Brewing Company’s A-1 beer was the most popular brew in the Grand Canyon State. Today’s revival is more of an European-style pilsner.

12oz bottle pours slightly opaque deep gold with forgettable white head. The aroma offers up grainy malts, a touch of butterscotch and vague tartness. The taste has a tart yeasty punch to start enhanced by bubbly carbonation. It then settles down to grainy malts and butterscotch with faint floral hops. Hmm? It seems yeasty and prickly and lacking in hops for the style.

Bottle from a trade with cbkschubert. Pours slightly hazy dark golden color with huge white head. Aromas of grainy malts, bread dough and floral hops. Sweet fruity and grainy flavor with some mild bitterness. Medium body with lively carbonation. Thanks Craig.
