Live Unboxing From Music City Beer Co.

Recently I was reached out to by a representative of Adkins Publicity who represents Music City Beer Co. out of Nashville and about checking out their beers. This is a look at what they sent me. Let's see what is in the box...

Getting My Beer On With 450 North Tropic Nuggets

Finally, I was able to get one of the Nuggets Series beers from 450 North Brewing and this NE Style DIPA did not disappoint for me. The beer itself provided a nice mouthfeel that was full of flavor, as well as a nice feel from the Double Dry Hopped process that brought in great aroma and flavor from the hops used. It had a nice juiciness and for me, I felt that it offered some nice tropical as well as citrusy flavor notes of pineapple, mango, orange, and grapefruit at the least. The finish is dry, but that can also be expected, and that dryness just made me want to drink more. At 8.5% ABV and 45 IBU, this beer plays out smooth without any booziness. A solid offering for my initiation to the brewery and one that I will say is worth trying for any fan of this style. Check out the video to see and hear more of my thoughts.

Lagunitas Dark Swan Sour Ale Beer Review

So a while back, a while while back, I never got around to uploading my look at the Lagunitas Dark Swan Sour Ale when I took time to taste this little 8.5% ABV treat. It is part of their One Hitter Series and is a Sour Ale fermented with red wine grapes, which for me definitely sounded interesting at the time. A quick rundown on this ale is that for me it was an okay attempt at a sour ale using the grapes as they did come across well in the taste and aroma. The beer had a good and not overwhelming amount of tartness, and I did pick up some subtle and fruity qualities of the beer. There was a light bit of astringency, and a nice bot of mouthcoating as the beer settled well into the cheek area. Overall, it was less than I was expecting with this one but as a sour ale, it met its goal. Check out the video to hear and see more on this one.

Rivertown Brewery Silverback Snack Beer Review

Silverback Snack from Rivertown Brewery & Barrel House is dessert in a glass, a pint glass. This chocolate banana stout brings together white chocolate sauce and banana puree as additions to the mix of malts, hops, yeast, and water to bring about a pleasant what I would call a dessert beer. You are going to want many of these in succession mist likely because of the sweetness but one or two in the mix can work. Roasty, dark with notes of chocolate is to be expected, but that kick of the sauce and puree do take it over the top nicely. There was a nice smoothness with this beer, and it made one decent nightcap. It proved to be a nice find on a random beer run, and I would definitely drink it again.
