The Cracker Cowboys of Florida were colonial-era settlers, often of Scots-Irish descent, who arrived in Florida when Spain traded their territory of La Florida to the English. The term Cracker in Florida usage relates to the whip these “cow hunters” used to herd cattle in Florida’s Palmetto Prairies. Called Quaqueros by the Spanish, these hardy and hard working Cracker Cowboys helped to shape the history of Florida, the nation’s oldest cattle raising state. We brew Florida Cracker White Ale with unmalted wheat, orange peel and coriander and then ferment it with a Belgianyeast strain to give it a spicy and dry finish. Perfect for a warm day on the Palmetto Prairie.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy bright yellow color with a huge creamy-fluffy yellow-white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was dryish cracker, pepper, lemon, coriander and dust. The flavor was tart lemon, pepper, dust, cracker and had a sour and astringent presence. Long sour lemon finish. Medium body. Ok.

06.11.2014, 0,35l can sampled @ BBGTC tasting:
Nice creamy shortlasting head. Aroma is slightly dry sour-ish grainy, weeds, wheat, wet grass, almonds, citrus peel, hay, spices, flowers. Taste is slightly dry grainy, wheat, hay, yeast, weeds, paper, cereal, almond essence, flowers, spices. Little bitterness, watery and slightly harsh mouthfeel. So boring!

Location: 12 oz cans from a grocery store, this one is from 8/11/14
Aroma: It is heavy spice/wheat, lots of banana, some orange peel, and a good amount more spice
Appearance: It pours a slightly cloudy golden color with a small white head and streaky lace
Flavor: The flavor is a little sweet and a little wheaty, with some clean, balancing bitterness
Palate: The body is medium, leaning light, with a fizzy feel, and a clean, dry finish on the mouth
Overall Impression: I liked this beer. It may not be amazing, but it is a better than average example of the style. This is a nice canned offering.

Shaker pint draft at the Cigar City Airport Pub in Tampa, Florida. The pour is a cloudy yellow white with a smallish white head. The aroma is lemon citrus coriander along with general Belgian spice. The taste is the grain wheat along with citrus peel and the Wit yeast. Above average spicing. The palate is light bodied, unfiltered mouthfeel soft carbonation and a wheat grain and grass finish. Solid.
