Another 12 oz can picked up on the singles shelf at the close-by HEB, I am pleased to get a Real Ale beer. We are hoping to make it to their taproom again late next month on a trip to the Hill Country, nice place to drink a brew. I pulled out the ABGB tulip glass for this sampling, the can is opened and I make a pour. I see a cloudy, medium gold body completed by a thin but persistent skim of completely white foam. The scent is fruit, some decent hoppiness and grain, nothing out of the ordinary really. The drink, well, it really takes a step up. A bit of citrus, mango, pine, white bread and some melon. More bitterness than your average NEIPA, good by me. It tends to the dry side and the sensation is rather full, a contribution from the fairly high ABV I think. The taste is good, the label is attractive, RA looks to have hit their stride with this beer.

12 oz. can from Total Wine, San Antonio, TX. Pours a crystal clear light yellow color with a fizzy white head and decent retention. A few spots of lacing. Basic grainy malt aroma. Very grainy pale malt flavor with some diacetyl in the finish. Medium to light body. High carbonation. Low bitterness. A bit weak.

I have a 12 oz can that was obtained at the closest HEB last week. A stamp on the bottom of the can says best by 8/22/23, no problem here. The Cowtown tulip glass from my small collection gets the duty this evening. After the pour I see a yellow-gold liquid that is opaque and a tall head of completely white foam that proves to be lacey later. The nose is citrus, a bit of tropical and pine. And the drink is not bad but not earth-shaking either. Orange rind, grapefruit, a little melon, hops, malt, crackers and grass. Less juicy than most NE style I have tasted, going the right direction I think.

22oz bottle (who's still using these?) pours a murky, dark brown/black with some fluffy grey head. This is straight up and down RIS, malt, toast, some char, some caramel, a little molasses. Flavor's are mostly burnt toast, licorice and caramel. It's balanced. This bottle was listed at 9.8% No one is making this beer anymore.
gave a cheers!

I can appreciate a good bock, time to see how Real Ale does one. I spotted a 12 oz can at the HEB locally earlier this week. So now I have a snifter prepared to receive the pour, a lighter than expected brown body with plenty of amber working its way through and a thin ring of silvery foam. I smell biscuit and roasted malt. The taste is all right without breaking any new ground. Malt, some pecans, a bit of caramel and some amber lager thrown in. Decent enough.

19.2 ounce can - hotel beer in Austin, TX - clear gold - rough rendition, with harsh phenols and bitterness - moderately sweet - a bit chalky - I suppose I should give it some credit for being a tripel available in cans at a cheap price point - but I won’t.
