A Beer

While in Louisville, Kentucky, my pals and I dropped into Sergio's World Beers; a little joint in the city's Butchertown neighbourhood. The bar had a stunning selection, which made it hard to choose, but I found my eyes drawn to Against the Grain Brewery's A Beer. A Beer is billed as an Extra American Pale Ale. The 16oz can is loud and funky, with a bearded bro in Stars and Stripes shades and a hop moustache. From Louisville, A Beer contains just 4.5% alcohol. The beer is hazy and orange, with a very thick off-white head.

It packs a hefty citrus aroma; slightly sweet, but mainly bitter. Crisp and sessionable, A Beer has a slightly yeasty flavour, grapefruit notes, and a slightly watery mouthfeel.

Very easy to drink, tasty, but a bit thin. A Beer certainly got the job done, and in a refreshing way.

Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
