While that Bud may be for you, this beer is for Clint. "Proudly brewed for
Clint Eastwood by his friends at Celis Brewery" proclaims the attractive
label. The beer is a medium golden in color and produces a healthy head of
foam with a moderately paced pour. Nose is very light here. So far,
everything here is shouting light bodied American beer, and the first sip
cements this opinion. The beer is drinkable but light bodied, a refreshing
first beer of the night. Sort of a Bud or Miller with a little ale
fruitiness, just a touch mind you. Clint boasts that five hop varieties are
used, but I would say in limited quantities, as the finish is balanced
slightly towards the sweet side. The beer is clean and crisp, and is a good
example of an accessible, light ale.
And remember, try a new beer today, and drink outside the box.
