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.

2022 versie (wederom: alsof er een andere versie bestaat, nou ja, dat kan nog komen natuurlijk). Vrijwel zwarte body en licht beige schuim met maar weinig retentie. Geur is zoetig, geroosterd, iets umami, boozy, whiskey. Retronasaal: zoetig, zoete chocola, iets boozy, wat geroosterd. Smaak is zoetig tot zoet, chocola. Mondgevoel is wat dunnetjes, had iets voller gemogen. Prima koolzuur, warmende alcohol. Smaak blijft nog even hangen.

(Bottle) Orange colour, slightly hazy, with brief bubbly head. Fruity, funky nose with notes of raspberries, red fruit, yeast, oak wood, herbs and floral/rosey aromas. Fruity, tart taste with raspberries, vinegar, oak wood, funky yeast, herbs and flowers. No bitterness. Medium body, mainly dry. Rich, funky and fruity. Very nice.
