Curious label on this beer. Not sure the intent. My first taste of a brew from the brewery, I hope it goes well. 12 oz can. My Great Heights snifter will catch the pour and I do so. Oh jeez, what an opening, I suggest some preparedness for the exuberance. I determine a sliver of gold liquid topped heroically by an over abundance of tuxedo white foam. I smell cedar and some citrus. The drink is hops-forward, some lemon, some lime, grain and a small bit of pineapple sweetness offsetting the considerable bitterness. I find it difficult to call this a hazy IPA but these days, who knows. In any case I find this to be an interesting and good tasting IPA.

I have a 16 oz can from a convenience store from somewhere in our travels. Staying with the can for the sampling but it is sporting a Cincinnati Reds koozie made for pint cans. All very red. I pull the tab and peer inside. Yes, red too. It smells quite strawberry and sweet. I take a drink and can say this is a rather decent tasting malt liquor. Strawberries, sweetness for sure but not offensive and a small touch of citrus. Steel Reserve has a decent strawberry malt liquor. This one is every bit as good, maybe better because it’s boozier.

Barrel Aged - Bourbon Edition 2022: Wheat Wine from Brouwerij De Molen (Bodegraven, Netherlands 🇳🇱)

I have a 330 ml bottle, my first De Molen wheat wine I am sure. Tilting into a globe glass the appearance is a dark cinnamon brown liquid with a spare cover of silver-tan foam. The scent is dominated by the bourbon, a good start, and followed by grain and ripe dark fruit. The taste complements the nose with ripe plums, caramel, toasted bread, hard candy, a hint of the barrel and meadow. Decently all right.

Picked this 12 oz can up somewhere, can't recall exactly, but it is a Texas beer so there is that. It pours into my Cowtown snifter a indistinct yellow-gold with a healthy head of absolutely white foam.I smell plenty of citrus, grain and a promise of hoppiness. The taste is decent if a bit thin. There is lime to begin with, an apricot sweetness, crackers, enough hops to register and some pine. Actually it is fairly tasty without having a lot of forceful presence. I guess they'll save that for the imperial version. Yeah, sure.
