Not that good at all. Cheap bourbon overkill, alcoholic. Very thin. Taste is a lot of bourbon, some cold coffee and some bitterness. This needs way more body and flavours of the base. Might have been a bad bottle? Otherwise vastly overrated.

35,5 cl can @ Bierlokaal Locus Publicus Aroma has caramel and resiny malt. Flavour has minerals, some resiny malt and grapefruity hops. A tad too dry but decent anyway. Faithful to the style.

Can at Grub. Aroma is a bit sweet, bit of wheatiness, bit of berries. Taste is strawberry, fruity, bit of wheat at the end. Bit creamy. Light hop bite. Nice enough. I like the can design. --- Beer merged from original tick of Lawnmower Lager on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:05 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 8.
