Brass Monkey from Angel City Brewery is back with the 2023 edition of the malt liquor mimosa. The fruit this year is ruby red blood oranges. The brewery describes it as a “light citrus aromas which lead to a boozy, medium bodied beer that’s slightly sweet to start but finishes dry with a note orange zest…”
Which is It?
I know a fair bit about beer styles and I understand that labels will stretch definitions for marketing reasons but I am a bit confuzzled by this Sierra Nevada label that says both Pale Bock and Malt Liquor.
There is probably a flavor overlap and I am quite interested to try the beer but it seems to be sending a mixed message to me.
Really?
Don’t know much about Malt Liquor?
Neither do I. But thanks to the industrious bloggers at the HopPress, now I have a link to the History of Malt Liquor!
Did you know the first malt liquor showed up in 1937?
And now you can find new variations from Rogue or Dogfish Head.
