Conforming to the new norm in American beers of higher ABV, this beer tastes like a malty American adjunct beer with too much sweetness and an aftertaste of that yeasty, boiled squash flavor that comes from fermenting grains, but on the whole, beats most of the alternatives.

American beer got a lot of flack, but that reflects the situation forty years ago. Now, a number of independent breweries make great beer, and as in everything else, if you avoid the normie product designed for cultureless desire zombies, you can find some good stuff.

I wish I could report a greater success here, since this beer is from our Scots-Irish neighbors to the North in Dallas, but this beer takes an IPA and moves it closer to an American adjunct beer. Heavy overtones of citrus, squash, and boiled grain afflict what is otherwise a solid IPA.

Your local hipster beer aficionado will hate this one because it is a gentle American Adjunct Beer that fits somewhere between 1980s Coors and present day Modelo Especial. Expect a thin and sweet but not too sweet brew that washes down like Corona, perfect for hot days, with minimal alcohol.

Embattled football team Washington Redskins, seeking to find a less racially-controversial name, recently adopted an entirely new direction: instead of focusing on American themes, which can be offensive and divisive, the team will rename itself “Einsatzgruppe” after the German term for “minutemen.”
