Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter

Brown Ale - American

They don't make 'em like they used to... or do they? The bottle shop series is a tribute to the folks who supported ragtag brewer's across the country when craft beer was in its infancy. when beer enthusiasts sought out innovation through big flavor, in your face complexity and revered quality above all else. This series is for you: the distinguished beer connoisseur still seeking the revolution that energized the industry we know today -- that settles for nothing less then the very best!

Dark hazy carmel color. Carmel with slight vanilla. A bit if orange citrus and smooth barrel aged flavors. Well blended. Great beer.

Interesting, in a good way. Some booziness with fruitiness, neither one too strong or overwhelming. Nice balance of flavors. Not too sweet either.

Clear mahogany w/ sturdy off-white head & lacing. Bourbon & orange-zest nose & taste; add alcohol-bitters, Marachino-cherry & brown-sugar flavors. Caramel-malt is the canvas upon which this masterpiece is painted.

Caught me off guard. Didn’t read the description first. A little tootsie roll-ish to me. Comme ci, comme ça. Definitely a sipper.

Not sure how I deal about it, love the Aromatics and the orange zest. But has a bit of a bitter finish.

Smelled better than it tasted. For 11% and barrel aged, flavor wasn’t that powerful

Can’t say it’s my favorite to come out of Founders. I’m picking up the orange, spices, and bourbon…

Getting a lot of orange peel. (Aside, have Founders stopped being dumb about their workplace culture yet?)

Interesting beer that catches you by surprise with how strong it is. Better as you sip it with hints of vanilla, caramel, and cherries. Super yum once you know what to expect.
