Mickey Finns Brewery Libertyville Lager

What the brewers say

“Cracker malt, lightly hoppy, slight fruity yeast character.”

What our panel thought

“Sweet corn, grainy aroma with light herbal hops. Crisp cracker-like malt. A nice grainy sweetness with just enough hop bitterness to balance. Prioritizes fun with the malty sweetness fading into an off-dry finish. The lawnmower beer vibe is strong, but the hefty malt and light acidity give it a flavorful punch.”

What our editors thought

“Golden and rich, with a dried flower note on the nose. Sip brings peachy malt notes with an outsized presence. Finishes with a light peppery bitterness.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Mickey Finns Brewery Dark and Down

“Coffee-forward roast malt notes in the aroma complemented by pleasant, but restrained, floral hops. The roasty and coffee-forward malt flavors create an assertive bitterness that starts early and lingers long, further accentuated by a soapy, floral hop note. Despite the aggressive bitterness, the beer drinks clean and crisp.”

Uhl’s Brewing Co Raspricot Shleemies

“Deep pink pour. Brilliant citrus-hop nose with a soft honey note. Full body, with citrus-tropical hop juice shining all the way with a raspberry touch. Intriguing blend of hops and fruit. Pleasant acidity.”

Deep Ellum Brewing Co Dream Crusher

“Fruit punch, orange marmalade, strawberry jam, and hints of Australian red licorice create a fruit-forward, yet complex and compelling aroma. First sip delivers Juicy Fruit gum and strawberries, quickly met by a resinous note that tempers any sweetness. Alcohol is drying and warming, delivering resinous bitterness.”
