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!

You gotta admire Founders for their ability to create beers with really wacko taste combinations that somehow feels totally natural. Malt, caramel, vanilla, orange peel, lemon, bourbon and hops are delicious, definitely!

Does a really good job with the old fashioned notes, cherry, muddled orange a bit of sugar and bourbon barrels

Vanilla, sugar, cherry, orange, a good take on an old fashioned cocktail. Bourbon barrel booziness

Brown ale maltiness, mild, somewhat fruity sweetness, caramel and burnt sugar notes, and bourbon barrel flavors. Really good. 4.5/5

Interesting brew. Caramel, cherry, vanilla, and bourbon stand out immediately and finishes sweet but with a bourbon style flavor of a mixed drink.

Momotaro High Ball > Founders Highball Drifter.. Cocktail vs beer but in all seriousness this is very well done. Hits every flavor profile you are looking for. Could 100% see it being a cocktail on draft

Hele mooie BA Brown ale. Klassieke smaken als karamel en vanille zijn in deze ale toch weer heel uniek en anders. Voor bijna 12% drinkt ie gevaarlijk makkelijk weg. Thanks Gerben M. 🔥

Complex and unique. The barrel presence lends flavors of vanilla & spice with a citrusy kick on the finish. Quite the cocktail. 11% ABV. 🥃🍊

Unique. Cherry and bourbon forward, probably as close to an old fashioned as a beer can get.

not much of a nose on this one tbh. mouthfeel’s smooth with a gentle fizz, some stickiness on the finish. soft vanilla that sharpens to dried fruits, brown sugar, chocolate raisins, orange peel, lingering herbal notes n bourbon. quite unique! 4.10

Delish and not the typical boring Brown ale. Plenty of dark fruit, brown sugar, caramel, oodles of bourbon. Well balanced. I’d drink this all the time

Nice brown BA aroma. "Special stuff" is in the background. In the flavor, this dpecial stuff - namely first and foremost Triple-Sec-style orange liqueur - dominates. Which is interesting and the point of this beer, but semi-convincing for me. 4.1
