Brewed in Lake Havasu, Arizona, which pleased me to discover that it was a local brewer. i had picked it up at a Fry's so I'm sure they have it at BevMo! in the phoenix area
but I'm not sure on how far this company ships to. I was relatively shocked by how smooth it is and the fact that there is a rather pleasant after taste and that the company was able to accomplish this without adding in a fruit that would ruin the beer. I powered through my first one while vacuuming and going worked on my second, and pleased to discover it wasn't getting old and was still enjoyable. If I had to compare it to another beer I would put it somewhere around the drinkability of an Amber Bock or a Killians Irish Red. Two hours later I had punished 4 beers and went to work on my 5th, shortly after that I realized that things were becoming slightly more difficult to accomplish, in other words.....I was shit faced.
So here comes my warning that comes with this beer. it is a 8.9% alcohol and obviously a sipping beer not meant to be treated the way I was trying to.
I would definitely recommend this beer to people trying to get into something new but not ready for something as strong as the stone arrogant bastard or a Guinness. all together I would say
3.5 out of 5 on the taste scale, on my "ninja drunk scale" I give this bad boy a 4, it sneaks up on you amazingly fast.
Side note: This beer was responsible for one of the best drunk naps I've ever had.
