Brewer Patriot Collection - 1790 Root Beer Brew
Pours a murky reddish brown with orange highlights. Light tan head. I can see yeast chunks suspended in the body. Smells vaguely like root beer. I can smell wintergreen, licorice and sassafras in the aroma. The mouthfeel is thin and carbonated. This one is harsh to drink. Strong herbal spicing. Molasses and vanilla breifly follow in flavor in the first sips. Wintergreen taste totally takes over the flavor palate and it's a very unaccustomed taste. Licorice and sassafras follow in the finish. This was not enjoyable at all and sadly it was probably the one I was looking forward to sampling the most out of the Brewer Patriot collection. 1790 Root beer was so bad I had to dump the last 1/4 of it. The wintergreen was just way too strong to be enjoyed.
