First Impression
James Ready five and a half! A blue collar, union made beer in the working man's reusable brown beer bottle as evidenced by the very worn glass edges visible in the photo. Looks reasonably like beer... Military spec in its appearance (see my Budweiser review) White head? Check. Amber liquid... Check! Five and a half percent alcohol soldier? Sir Yes Sir!
1st sip
Okay enough of the monkey business, this has a nice malt overtone for an apparent ethanol delivery system. Mocking aside, not bad upon passing it across the old tastebuds...
Halfway
Nice and smooth for a beer of greater than five percent alcohol. Not offensive, can be happily consumed by most I'd imagine...
Bottoms up
Overall this beer is a pirate. It's all dressy with its dark green and gold label sticker. But it's rough-around-the-edges, everyman heart belies a fun-loving, unshaven, cutlass wielding pillager of a brewing and swilling fermented libation. You could easily do worse.
72/100
