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.

Slightly hazy, golden colour with an amber hue. The frothy head is warm-white, long lasting with some small creamy lacing. The orange notes and coriander are very present in the nose. Lots of bananas as well from the wheat. The taste is a little toned down, helping with the refreshing crisp mouthfeel that this one should do. Somewhat yeasty, with some oat feeling. If you like the richness and sweetness of wheat in beer, this witbier is for you.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy pale gold-yellow with a small, creamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Mild aroma of wheat malt, coriander, Belgian yeast and faint orange peel. Sweet flavour of grainy wheat, lemon, coriander, Belgian yeast, peppercorn, floral and faint orange peel in a dry, crisp finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Refreshing and easy to drink. It's good, but slightly disappointing for such a hyped brewery.
