750 mL wine bottle bomber from Laura Alberts, Charleston, SC, USA. $7.50 for the mini-growler/bomber/wine bottle. Another of my favorite styles from another of my favorite brewers.
Pour is a very distinct, clear golden body with a small amount of pure white head. Not much retention and a little lace.
Smell is very boozy. Some nice malty notes too.
Tastes reflect the nose. This drinks easily though, at least considering the presence of alcohol in the taste. To be honest I was getting nervous as I was drinking it as the alcohol seemed very solvent like. I was thinking, “I bet this could give you a nasty headache”. Some very simple drying character in the finish and a beer that screams caution.
It’s clean and relatively crisp in the mouth, again a feature of the prominent alcohol I feel.
