750 ml bottle, vintage 2016 Black body, with a small, tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, bourbon, coffee, soy sauce, some liquorice. Tastes quite similar, with some more tobacco. Medium, oily mouthfeel, wirh a low carbonation. Finishes medium sweet, medium roasty, with bourbon, chocolate, soy sauce, coconut. Tasty! Very well integrated bourbon barrel, providing another smooth layer. Otherwise greatly balanced between roasty and sweet notes, with some creamy character to it, lovely sipper. Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 17

Lemon-lime (Sprite), malt, and grass aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Lightly sweet lemon-lime, malt, and mildly bitter grass flavor. Light body. Okay - a Radler without the sweetness.

Can, 0.457l. Aroma of guava, bubblegum, citrus and cereals. Pours cloudy dark golden color with thin soapy off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts tart citrusy and grainy with guava note, following is herbal and faint medicinal, mouthfeel is dry and slightly astringent, while finish is moderate bitter. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Killing me tartly…

A Beer - Super American Premium Lager from Against the Grain Brewery

8.1/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 6 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
16 oz. can from Total Wine - Melbourne. Pours a clear gold color with a very large rocky white head and great retention. Great lacing too. Standard pale malt aroma. Yup, it tastes like a beer, with a little grain and a hint of lemon sweetness. Clean, crisp, smooth and refreshing pale malts flavor. No bitterness. Good carbonation and a medium body. Well done.
