Description
It started on Plaza Drive in New Albany, Indiana, with Sportstime Pizza in 1987 (now the NABC Pizzeria), followed by Rich O’s (NABC Public House) in 1990, the incorporation of the New Albanian Brewing Company in 1994 and the launch of the original New Albanian Brewery in 2002 (the first commercial brewery in New Albany since 1935). The Pizzeria & Public House are still going strong.

In New Albania, beer is a way of life. NABC stands for a quarter-century of experience, education, recognition and success. Not only that, but our machines kill fascists, too.

Now more than ever before, we ask: Can your beer do that?

Bottle thanks to Josh. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces nicely. Aroma has a combination of flora and pine with a good amount of yeast and sweet grains backing. Flavor has a good amount of pine with a bit of sweet grains backing and a bit of floral and yeast notes to round out the beer.

Bomber. Deep brown body with ruby highlights. Short, tan head, rapidly diminishing. Sweet, malty aroma. Notes of overripe, dark fruits, vanilla, roasted malts, molasses, vanilla. chocolate. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Tastes of sweet plum and cherry. Some caramel and chocolate. The finish has some lingering bitterness and also flavors of toasted and raw grains, though not near as much as in other Albanian beers. A bit sweet and a bit thin, but otherwise very tasty and one of New Albanian’s best beers.
