Ale Aged in Bourbon Barrels with Orange Peel, Orange Extract, and Cherry
Call us old-fashioned, but we think you’re going to love this barrel-aged sipper inspired by our favorite bourbon-based cocktails. Highball Drifter presents aromatics of caramel and vanilla, dried fruit and spice while hints of cherry and bitter orange peel whisk you away to simpler days.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Pours an almost clear reddish amber with a beige head. Lovely, sweet Bourbon aroma with plenty of candyish licorice all sorts. Maybe a faint note of cherry. Rich sweet caramel and toffee. Plenty of Bourbon and sweet vanilla sugar with a warming alcohol finish. There’s bittering hops there, but it’s overwhelmingly a sweet candy beer. 300523

Bottled 355ml (BeerRep, vintage 2021)
Amber a bit murky colour, tiny beige head. Light toffee and vanilla in the nose, touch of bourbon. Medium-bodied. Toffee, orange, bourbon and vanilla in the flavour. Easy, not very malty. Ok.
