Beer Review: Old Nation M-43 Ready To Go

Recently, I had a chance to check out the M-43 from Old Nation Brewing thanks to my buddy Eric and in follow-up to previously having their Boss Tweed. A nice appearance along with a great aroma and flavor, not to mention great mouthfeel and body made this beer nice palatable. Place that with good notes of tropical and citrus and its smooth milkshake like texture and this one became an easy one to enjoy. Finally as for my rating, this one gets a “good choice” score of an 87 from me and I would definitely drink it again.

Check out my video to hear and see more of my thoughts on this one, and if you have had it as well then let me know what you thought of it by leaving a comment. Cheers and remember…there’s always time, so Get Your Beer On!

Having a space where I can store some of these bigger beers allows me to build a collection that I can enjoy year-round, but it has never been a seasonal thing for me. Now I am not saying I will crack a 15% ABV in the middle of a hot summer day, but sitting out on a summer night having a nice stout and stogie is a pleasant exp...
