Description
Bull Durham Beers are all brewed with a home field advantage, on site at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. If you are a fan of locally-produced, sustainable craft beers, you can’t get much more local than drinking a beer that was brewed a few feet from home plate. We have four starters, as well as some pinch-hitting seasonal beers that get traded out periodically. These beers are refreshing and high quality, made to be enjoyed on hot Carolina nights watching your home team.

Pounder can. Slight haze on a lager off pale eye, rapidly fading white bubbly head. Smells a little like aged lager that's been sitting on the shelf, date code is 5/24. Some co2, but fairly flat on the palate. Easy drinken yet not real pleasant, has quite a bit of a processed flavor about it; odd backbone and somewhat metallic at times. Must say tho, not much bitterness in this. Finishes with a dull uninteresting tedious characterless & monotonous lager ending. Even as a macro lager lover, found nothing special or refreshing about this.

Super crisp and clear completely golden coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall perfectly white head and no visible bubbles here. Aroma of light grass, some noticeable cereal malts along with a kick of caster sugar and hint of lemons here without much else, aside from a crisp lager yeast, especially towards the end. Light-bodied; Strong bitter malts noticeable with a lot of graininess and a slight earthy quality that couples with the lemons and lager yeast showing right behind with a light sweetness as well and a soft candy-like sweetness at the finish brings a good well-rounded note that makes this very easy-drinking. Aftertaste shows a lot of grassy and citrusey flavours with some noticeable sweetness and light malts here and a touch of lemons and light lager yeasts, but this is very easy-drinking, yet crisp and enjoyable throughout, especially with the lager yeast and enjoyable sweetness. Overall, a nice and enjoyable beer, especially in the heat here in the mid-atlantic and while this was crisp and light, there were still enough flavours and complexity to make it worthwhile and enjoyable! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Harris Teeter in Cary (Tryon Village), North Carolina on 30-May-2021 for US$1,87 sampled at my house here in Washington on 18-August-2022.

3 week old pint can A: Poured clear bright yellow with a short lasting white head. S: Musty and dusty with fresh apple, grape and biscuit dough. T: Very dry and lightly bitter with tart apple coming to the forefront. A bit of honey and bread sweetness balances at the end. M: Fine but strong carbonation, smooth texture and a clean dry finish. O: Everything I like in kolsch. Clean, dry, lightly fruity. Like Champagne.

This white can was a gift from my daughter for Christmas 2020. My can says its 4% not 3.5 as stated here. Also, the can says its an ale, even in the name, but this is styled as a lager? WTF? Clear pale, very thin head. Fairly clean fresh nose. Taste is surprizingly very friendly, its easy and civilized, with manners. A very good example of a well made ale without any of the typical ill natures of ale. I'm liking this. Has a really good sizzle as well, on the palate. Refreshingly refreshing. Yes, I would say this is as good as many mild ales I've had. HAs a good natured almost tart feel about it supported with hints of hay. In the end I'll say its an ale that is more like a tender lager, nice jib, no Bull; and there's no pun intended, ehehehehhheh. Overall this is simply what a good no hopped beer should taste like; clean & refreshing with no ill tempered hoppy preservative attitude to cover up any of the goodness of well made beer, whether ale or lager. Probably should me styled as a golden ale or mild ale.
