At first glance, I thought this was a Mill Creek beer, based entirely on the label design. It wasn't until I got it home that I realized it is actually a beer from Michael Waltrip, two-time winner of the Daytona 500 and guy that Robbie Gordon called "a piece of s***!" What about his beer?
First sip is quite off-putting. The dryness of the beer is somehow pervasive through the whole thing - from start to end. The coriander mixes with flowers to make a strange taste that isn’t really doing anything to overcome the dryness as the focal point of the beer. This is supposed to be refreshing? Isn’t there supposed to be some good flavor to this?
Tip-in is light carbonation fizz with the ghost of a lemon and no solidity below. The middle opens into a watery, almost completely tasteless mess, but at least it’s not dry. The finish is only slightly dry as the bread malt lets you know it’s there and the coriander pops it’s head out.
Bottom Line: It’s been lapped.
0.75/5
