Description
Located in a former roadside speakeasy on US Route 50 heading west into the city of Cincinnati, Fifty West Brewing Company first opened its doors in November of 2012. Since then, one thing has remained the same. Every time you have a Fifty West beer, you know it was handmade in small batches with a focus on the four virtues we hold closest to our hearts: craftsmanship, tradition, innovation, and patience.

Bottle shared during RBWG 2015. Pours mostly clear yellow with a wimpy, white foam head. Light funk in the nose, some candied lemon peel, pale bread. Light sweet flavor with mild tart citrus, dry straw, mellow bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately dry on the finish with some more biscuity pale malts, subtle lemon notes. Not bad.

50cl bottle from alexsdad06 pours a hazy gold with some frothy, white head. Nose has a nice mix of straw, lemon peel, mild celery, some vitamin C tablets, some tropical fruit, lime. Flavor follows right along, some citrus juice, mildly zesty, tropical fruit, some celery too, some green bell pepper, some straw. Dry finish. Very drinkable.
