McDermottDrink Profile

Hazy yellow pour with a thick white head. Nose has just a hint of tropical fruit, though pineapple becomes more pronounced in the glass. Taste is nove on tropical fruit juice, just a little bit tart. Carbonated fruit juice taste builds up in a nice way.

Just got a tastet, since I'm driving. The first sniff makes me think of a Bourbon County (that's a compliment). Black body, no bubbles. INTENSE Bourbon Stout taste, lots of warming alcohol. A bit smoother than most fresh BA Imports, and that's welcome. Just a wonderful shipping beer to enjoy with good company.

Woof! Nose is more like a cordial liqueur. Deep amber color, more like a Vienna lager, thin ring of foam. Strong taste as expected. Bar guy just described this as a strong pils (originally a collab with Haymarket), so there's a big fruit taste that's just from the barrel. Alcohol is pretty mild. Unique among BA beers.

A little clear for a claimed Hazy, Amber beer under a thin scrum of foam. A little fruit in the nose that goes well with the pine in the hop nose. Taste is equal parts hoppy and fruit. Smooth and a bit sweet, which one might not expect with cranberry. Kind of creamy, and very nice. A little more cranberry comes up further down

Can from Orange & Brew. Dated Oct. 25.
Big resiny hop nose right under the pop top. Hazy straw pour under a foamy white head. Piney bitterness in the taste, with citrus and canteloupe in the background. Almost too much for me, but this is a big hoppy ale with its own distinct character.
