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.

Smaakt een beetje naar een mix tussen Delirium Tremens en Hoegaarden Witbier. Maar dan vooral witbier. Lekker in balans, wel een tikkie droog maar dat kan ook m'n nadorst zijn.

355ml can from Bernie's (Shirley, Brum): According to 'James Clay' the BBD is 8th Aug 2021. I am about to open it mid-morning on 17th Apr 2021. Poured slowly into a US Pint glass from the Good People brewing Company (also from Brum, but this time Alabama). Light haze to the pale yellow/golden body, full white crown on top, carbonation bubbles rising up through the glass. The beer has been well chilled, so the aroma is currently a bit subdued, some wheat like esters are trying to break out, as are some spicy notes with an orange trace or two; should pick up as it warms in the glass. Taste is also wheaty, spicy and orangey. Nice crisp body feel to this. Can't pretend I am a big lover of this style, but this is one of the better ones I have tried so far.

Angeblich soll Florida ein Zentrum der amerikanischen Braukunst sein. Bis jetzt hat es gedauert, dass ich in den Genuss eines solchen Bieres komme. Benannt ist es nach den Cracker Cowboys, welche sich in Florida eben um die spanischen und bald englischen Kühe kümmerten. Es ist ein Bier, das sich am belgisch-französischen Witbier orientiert. Im Geschmack findet man die mitgebraute Orangenschale und die weihnachtlichen Gewürze Nelken und Koriander. Dabei ist es wirklich angenehm aromatisch und dazu ebenso harmonisch. Dabei bleibt es im Hintergrund locker-flockig und erfreut mit hoher Süffigkeit. Hat mir wirklich gut gefallen.

Canned October 3rd.

Pours a mostly clear pale gold with a 2 finger head of foam that is very slow to shrink.

The nose is big coriander and orange peel. Spicy fruity.

The taste is of coriander, orange peel, cloves, tastes the part of the style as much as it smells it.

Light side of medium bodied.

I reckon that it's a well crafted American example of the style.

The plan was to arrive a few hours ago with flight LH 462 at 2:45 pm in Miami and travel through Florida for the next three weeks. But due to the pandemic and the world wide lockdown, we had to cancel everything. As a substitute I ordered online some Florida beers for the next days. Starting now with Florida Cracker. Hazy flat golden in the glass, one finger white head. Wheat and orange smell. Tastes with fruity wheat and yeast at the start, orange, banana, wheat and yeast, some coriander. Nice and easy drinking stuff.
