Boscos Famous Flaming Stone Beer

Brewed by Boscos Brewing Company
Style: Traditional Ale
Memphis, Tennessee USA

Crystal clear apple juice body with white head. Aroma is moderately sweet and carmel, as is the taste. Fairly clean light-medium body. Pleasant but not much to it.

To be honest, I can’t describe it any better than, if even as well as, the reviews before mine. I’m forced to let my ratings speak for themselves, but if you want specifics then read the other reviews. This was a difficult one for me to get a handle on well enough to describe it, but I can say that it is much better when paired with some soup than it is by itself.

Poured a golden yellow with a small head. Aroma was almost non existant but there was a hint of malt. Flavor was light malt and a bit of bitterness but no defined hop..A step above a macro and a very refreshing summertime beer but nothing special.

On tap, 16 oz. Shaker glass, Nashville Brewpub. Clear amber yellow in the glass with a medium white head. Ok lacing. Skunk, yeast, lemon and German malt on the nose. Hard beer to get a handle on. My overall impression is that this is the Platonic ideal for which all macros strive, which means it is the fulfillment of a Pyrrhic ideal. An ale brewed in a historic process that reminds me of a mass-produced lager done right? Weird. Prickly carb and prickly noble hops with some smokiness on the finish. Good low but identifiable level of sweetness. Not too complex.

Pours gold with orange hint and a white head, fizzy. Patchy lacing. Mellow malt aroma with hop, orange nose. Mild buttery malt flavor with sour yeast hints. Smooth creamy medium-bodied palate.

Nashville. The aroma on this one, like all of Boscos beer was faint to non-existent. That might have had something to do with the smoky bar conditions and perhaps also something to do with the fact that I had a mildly stuffed up nose, however, I was able to taste the brews just fine, so my olfactory senses must have not been hindered that much. No visible carbonation. Light gold in color. No head and no lace. This brew doesn’t really taste like stones or like a steinbier at all. If I didn’t know it was a steinbier, I wouldn’t have picked that out. Truthfully, I’m not sure I would be able to distinguish this from Bud light in a blind vertical taste test.

Really surprised at the low average on this one. Maybe I just got exicted that this one was different than something you’d get in theaverage micro line-up. -Aroma: Malty nose but a little too soft -Appearance: Nice deep bronze -Flavor: Really enjoyed the flavor on this one. Very fullbodied with a load of caramel malt -Palate: Again very full yet very smooth and refreshing -Overall: I really enjoyed this one and was surprised at the low average rating it currently has. Maybe I just got exicted that this one was different than something you’d get in the average micro line-up.

Appearance is nice with a rich gold color and a thin white head. ARoma is lightly malty. Flavor is similar with carmael notes in addition to the malt presense. Medium bodied and decent. A little thin in the palate in my opinion as well.
