Year of New Beer: Pool Boi Light, Against the Grain Brewery (Louisville)

Written By: Dion on 04/18/2020

The operative word for this lo-cal brew is "effervescent". Nose features a slightly sweet grain husk with a pretty good blackberry presence, not overpowering or artificial. The fruit takes the lead on the tongue, leaning toward sweet as opposed to tart, marrying well with the grain base. The carbonation gives this a bit of a seltzer feel, but it has a better flavor. Aptly named, because at 3.2% and 80 calories, this would make a nice warm weather, poolside crusher.
