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!

Exceptionally smooth and subtle booze flavor. I really enjoy this style and the complexity of different flavors that come through is a refreshing take on barrel aged beers.

This is a nice ale, very complex in flavor. It tastes like Yeager meister Ale, but no black liquorice. A true expert level beer drinkers' beer.

Pours a clear dark brown with red hues, two fingers of khaki colored head, excellent retention, solid lacing. Aromas of vanilla, orange, and cherry. Flavor starts with orange peel and cherry, complimented by vanilla, caramel, bourbon, and earthy spice.

Delicious, has a nose similar to a highball, like bourbon and ginger ale, heat citrus taste with an after taste of whiskey. Absolutely love this one

Caramel, spicy bourbon, and orange peel like an Old Fashioned. Flavor is caramel, orange and other dried fruits. Can taste the 11%.

So different than anything I've had. The orange peel is front and center. Also a faint boozy flavor. That's about all I've got.

Very unique beer, really didn’t know what to expect but very good. Very smooth with a sweet orange and cherry flavor. Hard to believe it is 11% ABV.

Happy to try this one out. Pours a caramel brown color with aromas of citrus and sweetness. The mouthfeel is on the thinner end with flavors of caramel notes, vanilla sweetness, and some orange citrus. Overall, not too bad. Nice change up.

An odd beer. Kind of like someone added 25% of Sprite to a malty beer like a doppelbock. Not a big fan. Especially for the price. Only 2 more to go.
