Description
Firestone Walker Brewing Company began innocently enough: two brothers-in-law—Adam Firestone and David Walker—debating the subject of good and bad beer. Their search for a decent local ale finally led them to brew their own starting in 1996. The original Firestone Walker brewery was located in a converted shed on the family vineyard, where they experienced no shortage of trials and tribulations. From these humble beginnings was born one of the world’s most decorated breweries.

At Firestone Walker, Beer Before Glory is our mantra for reminding ourselves we do what we do because of the beer. Period. It’s our battle cry to never accept well enough. It’s the high aim for a perfect beer we will never make. Beer Before Glory is our craft, ever honed on the stone of humility.

19.2oz can from Albertsons. Pale, cloudy yellow pour, fizzy head dies rapidly. Looks like urine. Smells like lemon candy, Lemonheads. Taste is artificial lemon and gas station malt liquor. A "radler" at 8%? More likey a malt liquor dressed up as a radler. Firestone is so much better than this....

Opalescent to hazy pale yellow colour, minimal dense off-white head; aroma of sweet tangerine, apricot jam, some pomelo and grapefruity notes; taste is exactly the same with syrupy sweetness and some hoppy bitterness; a bit unbalancedly sweet, but definitely enjoyable beer

Sample, thanks fonefan! Clear mahogany colour, small head. Intense, woody nose with bourbon and caramel. Sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Caramel and wood, peppery rye bread. Warming mid bitter finish.

Double whammy! This followed the FW Stickee Monkee. Alcohol burn apparent, but not overpowering. Pure barley essence, aroma and taste. A real gem.2014, 2015 & 2016 versions rated.

Rocky & creamy white head stayed on a reddish brown still body.
Molasses, raisin, malt & bourbon aroma.
Medium to full bodied, smooth & creamy with a thinner cloying back.
Toffee caramel, molasses, demerara sugar, bourbon & liquorice tastes with a tang on the fruity finish.
Excellent.
