You should first purify the water with your First Need. |

On to 1919 Pale Rail. Dark yellow almost brown. Lots of carbonation right after opening, Spice and hoppy aroma, lots of head at first that settles quickly. Tastes as it smells, good amounts of flavor, spicy clean finish. The carbonation while not a full disappointment, does not last, and settles to a fine/very fine feel. No replacement for a fresh APA, still good tasting and refreshing for what it is. The brew concentrate is equivalent to 100 proof +-, volume and weight, and takes little space. Waste packaging is foil/paper and easily packed out. The carbonator can replace a 20 oz. Nalgene water bottle and has the same thread/cap size. A viable alternative to my usual scotch and water, stargazing refreshment on a remote trip! Video butthead PS: Video and editing are another first time learning experience for me (new GoPro), please cut me some slack. bh |

They are 1 to 10 mix ratios by weight, 1 package (1.5 oz.), to 14.5 oz. of water. Labeling and shipping are regulated, "Why do you call your beer concentrates “brew concentrates” The Feds (Tax and Trade Bureau) have regulations that you cannot use the word “beer” when labeling a distilled spirit. our concentrates have a high alcohol content and are classified as a “distilled spirit”." FAQ from Pat's Backcountry Beverages. Waiting on the delivery of the Carbonator Kit, more details to come------------- butthead |

Pale Rail is a solid tasting American pale ale, touch of red, clean fruit/spice aroma, clean pallet/finish. Frothy head medium size bubbly, settles in 5 minutes, holds a fizziness for 20. Bell's Two Hearted Ale comes to mind. Black Hops, dark, lots going on in the aroma, dusty/piney, bit of a bite, flavorful. Think Imperial IPA. Finer head, settles at the same rate. Neither as good as fresh brew, but a good drink. Much better than mass market mainstream brands as far as flavor. butthead PS: "does it taste better than bringing a plastic bottle of the name brands?" yes for sure! bh |
