Is Pabst breaking out from the PBR? Will that turn off the hipsters who want a cold beer that is marginally better than the corn pop swill of SABInBev and Miller?
Seems like a weird choice for Pabst though draping the beer in a flag and the American Pale Ale name might bring in some customers not knee deep in the #independent scene but growing out of the normal.
Love the neon green pull tab on the can as well as the directives, “drink”, “tote”, “share”, and “rotating around the top of the can. Crazy to think of how many breweries are in Bend along with today’s beer from Worthy Brewing. This American pale ale pours a bright orange with a thin head. At first it tastes more of the XPA mold than pale. But with the fluid (pun intended) way brewers pick styles that is not a big shock. Wheat and small citrus aroma here which follows through to the taste. As it warms though, more tangerine notes start plucking my tastebuds. There are some bread notes at the back too.
Big thanks to my mom for providing this can to me. Always good to have a source for Pacific NW beers in SoCal.
