Braxton Garage Lager

2021-03-31

Garage Beer Premium Lager. Braxton Brewing. Covington, KY.

4.0% ABV.

Across the river from Cincy, can they brew a better beer?

Appearance

Thick foamy head with big lacing. Very pale translucent yellow.

A typical macro-lager smell.

Aimee says “sweet like a summer flower”, and when I don’t respond says, “don’t you think so?”

The flower she googles is jasmine.

I can get down with the idea of the beer smelling like flowers or plants, but it’s not what I get.

She also says “candy”.

I should just let her do these tastings; she has much more imaginative tastebuds than I.

I am determined to pick 1 tasting note for this aroma.

And it is … seabreeze.

Screw it. Seabreeze.

Aimee disagrees.

My first reaction: “yeugh”, with a bit of eye-rolling head-tilt.

It’s a light lager.

Probably better than a Bud Lite, but who can say.

I have lost interest.

I mean, it tastes simple and inoffensive. You could drink 10 of these.

Closest beer to the mouthfeel of delicious, refreshing water.

I am so frustrated.
