Bottle Shop Series: Highball Drifter (2021)

Brown Ale - Imperial / Double

There’s a new sheriff in town – meet Highball Drifter, a barrel-aged sipper inspired by our favorite bourbon-based cocktails. The second entry in our Bottle Shop Series, Highball Drifter presents aromatics of caramel and vanilla, dried fruit and spice while hints of cherry and bitter orange peel whisk you away like a tumbling tumbleweed. Call us old-fashioned, but we think you’re going to love it.

Malty, deep, a bit sweet, dark fruity. Distantly bourbon. Nice body and Founders style gently barreling. Release 2. Bottled 7.6.21. #ivb2024

Stay Thirsty

Bottled 7.07.21. Mellowed quite a bit, but still strong. The citrus is the most prominent flavor, but this was always a complex beer. Great stuff

Rich bourbon aroma, rich and warning with a malty sweetness and flavours of bourbon barrel, brown sugar as well as fruity prune notes. Nice sipper especially with the cold winter outside ❄️

You can smell the cherry and fruit but has a surprising taste. Not tart but sweet with a malty flavor. The barrel flavor compliments this brew ver well.

See previous reviews of Highball Drifter. Mellows nicely for a cellared 27 month old. (yeah, yeah....beer fridge cleaning time again.....)

Sentore portante di arancia (fresca e olii essenziali), lieve marasca, caramello e legno. Passaggio in Bourbon aggiunge una legatura funzionale nell'evoluzione del sorso, stabilito su una scorrevolezza superiore alle aspettative. Buona trasposizione.

有点像清爽版本的世涛,回温后有着怡人地樱桃、香草香气,风味上也有体现,不过主要集中在尾段

Karamell,vanília,a hordó aromái,visszafogott meggy és narancshéj. Nem túl édes,nem túl alkoholos. Viszont gyönyörű a balansz. Nagyon jó ez!

Forgot about this one deep in my cabinet. Well aged, but not at proper temps! The flavor is delicious but I'm guessing it's supposed to be slightly more carbonated. Extremely malty, thick, boozy. Definitely taste vanilla and cherry.

Two years in the cellar smoothed this one out, but made it a little too sweet. Still good.
