TBW has this strange thing where they make the logo on the label some form of a guitar pick. I assume this is what some random woman on the street in 1927 would look like. 1927. That was 99 years ago. That seems both a very short time and ages ago. I assume Nashville had flappers back then, right?
That is a surprisingly dark gold beer that is almost bronze in the center. The head that comes out is quite impressive with its fluffiness and stickiness. It feels like I haven't had a beer with a solid, sticky head in forever. This is going to be leaving tons of lacing, and I thank the brewer for it. The aroma is floral hops with some citrus skins behind it. The malt is somewhat caramel, and it's got a little bread to it. This beer smells really good, and I want to drink it.
First sip is quite good. Botanicals are helping with the sweetness to form a very well balanced beer. There's a little funk, and bitterness is all wrapped up in what is a surprisingly sweet drink that I just want to drink. There are days when I commit to doing the review that I just want to abandon it and guzzle this whole four pack. I'm going to guzzle, but only after I'm done.
Tip-in is sweet caramel malt with botanicals highlighting floral hops. The middle is filled with flavor from citrus fruit spritzes on herbs coupled with the ever present sweetness of the malt alongside the bitterness from the floral hops. The finish is a bitter turn, but sweetness stays on the lips with botanicals echoing in the trail off.
Bottom Line: She's a keeper. Best from TBW yet.
4.0/5
