A Subtle Review of Captain Lawrence Orange Crusher

Published on

When I first laid eyes on the can of Orange Crusher Lager by Captain Lawrence Brewing Company, two things caught my attention: it was a lager, and it promised an orange flavor. In my mind, I envisioned a light, vibrant burst of citrusy goodness.

Based on my experience with other Captain Lawrence lagers, I expected it to be light in taste. Indeed, my first sip confirmed that this beer is subtle, with a mild bitterness and a delicate hint of orange peel and citrus. While it didn’t deliver an intense orange explosion, it offered a more nuanced and refined citrus touch, which makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a lightly flavored beer.

Orange Crusher Citrus Lager pours with a clear, pale yellow hue. The mouthfeel is light, crisp, and pleasantly carbonated. The slight citrus note keeps it interesting without being overbearing, and its lightness makes it incredibly easy to drink.

If you’re looking for a beer on the lighter side of the spectrum with just a hint of orange, Captain Lawrence Orange Crusher is the one for you. It’s a refreshing and pleasant option, especially for summer. Light and easy-going, it’s perfect for those who enjoy a subtly fruity beer. Its delicate citrus twist offers a mild yet enjoyable beer experience that’s definitely worth a try.

Like Sweet Sunshine: Ray Catcher by Jack’s Abby Brewing

Published on

Jack’s Abby Brewing’s craft rice lager, “Ray Catcher,” tastes like catching sunshine in a glass. It is both incredibly refreshing and surprisingly exciting. I had to resist the strong temptation of not putting the glass down and guzzling the whole 16 ounces before realizing that it would not be good for this taste review.

This brew makes a delightful first impression with its deep straw-gold appearance. The pour births a playful, frothy head that gradually subsides, mirroring the airy lightness intrinsic to this lager.

As Ray Catcher breathes, it unfolds an alluring aromatic narrative. Initially, the nose detects a subtle combination of spice and light fruit tones. The beer’s palate is an echo of its aroma, with a melody of flavors playing in perfect harmony. Beneath these bold strokes hides a trace of light fruitiness, whispering mysteries to your taste buds.

Despite its light-bodied nature, Ray Catcher possesses an impressive fullness of mouthfeel, thanks to the natural carbonation. This duality turns every sip into an experience; each taste is a fresh revelation that keeps you reaching for more.

Ray Catcher’s refreshingly crisp taste and clean finish are like precious rays of sunshine, meant to be caught, savored, and remembered. Light as a summer breeze yet deep with complexity, Ray Catcher is not just a beer but a liquid embodiment of the sun’s golden touch.
