A decent beer approximation of a whisky smash, but not really great at being either. Strong ale notes bring a mild caramel and brandied fruit backbone, while the mixed drink side offers up tart lemon and citrus zest, with a hint of mint on the back end. Finishes tart and boozy, with a bourbon and oak fade laced with lemon juice. One of those beers that makes me ponder its purpose; why not just have a whisky smash? It's not like it takes a mixologist to make one.
