Today's beer adventure: MillerCoors Batch 19 Pre-Prohibition Style Lager (Colorado, USA). 12oz. bottle. 5.5% ABV. Served in a pint glass. Purchased on my most recent trip to the craft beer capital of Saskatchewan - Plentywood Montana.The pour is medium-dark copper with one finger of white head. Excellent retention. Highly carbonated.
Aroma is sweet malt, some vegetal qualities - corn, grass. Small amount of noble-type hop aroma, but not too much. Overall, it's aroma is macrobrew+.
The flavour is somewhat sweet - grassy, slightly fruity hop with a solid malt backbone. Adjuncts are definitely in play - corn and possibly rice. Finish is a bit bitter and relatively short.
Rating is 6/10 dogs. It's alright, particularly for MillerCoors, whose beer is not usually reviewed in this hallowed arena. If it was on tap with no other craft beer options, I would buy it and not complain about it. At the time of purchase, I didn't know it was a MillerCoors product, and if I had, I wouldn't likely have spent the money on it. Found out online after purchase. Well played MillerCoors, well played. Oh, and BTW, really cool bottle... :)
