Hey all, I'm back again! Sorry for the delay in posting, but i've had a busy few weeks. This time, I'll be reviewing a more mass-produced Colorado beer, the Coors Brewing company's own
Batch 19. Named after one of the original Coors recipe brews that was supposedly just rediscovered, Batch 19 is now being produced on a large scale alongside Coors' other flagship products. In a short amount of time, the Pre-prohibition style Lager has already proved quite popular. Upon opening and pouring, one is greeted with a nice light, slightly sweet aroma and a bubbly head that quickly dissolves into a very thin top. This lager settles surprisingly quickly, although that isn't an altogether bad thing. The first sip tastes a bit like caramel, with a finish leading into a mouth-watering cereal malt flavor. The overall experience is quite nice, and so is seeing a Lager of this quality coming out of a a Mega-brewing operation like MillerCoors.
Despite settling quickly, Batch 19 proves to just as carbonated as any quality beer I've had. Seriously, drink it too fast (and you may, given the addicting finish) and you'll be belching six ways from Sunday. Now, it's not perfect: the flavor could be a bit stronger, and i'd prefer the head to settle a bit slower, but overall this is a quality brew from a good company. For now this beer is only available in limited areas, but MillerCoors
has plans to change that soon. In the meantime, if you can find it, I'd absolutely recommend
Batch 19 for hot summer day drinking or as a lunch and dinner beverage.
Final Score: 8/10
Good luck, and Happy drinking!
