1835 beer Review

When I first tried shrb 1835 lager, I was intrigued by its unique production method, which uses raw botanicals infused in apple cider vinegar instead of traditional brewing. This approach aims to capture raw flavors reminiscent of classic lagers, but it also results in a taste that can be quite unusual. The color is a pale golden, typical of lagers, but the aroma hints at something different, with a subtle tanginess from the vinegar that might catch you off guard.

On the palate, the first sip is surprisingly light, with a crisp carbonation that initially masks the vinegar notes. However, as the drink warms, the flavor shifts towards a more vinegary profile that might not be to everyone’s liking. The sweetness is present but feels more artificial than natural, which detracts from the overall experience. It’s not a bad drink, but it lacks the depth and body that many expect from a lager.

One aspect I appreciate about shrb is its commitment to vegan ingredients, making it accessible for those on plant-based diets. However, it’s important to note that this lager is not gluten-free, which may limit its appeal to a broader audience. Additionally, the lack of conventional fermentation results in an unfermented quality that some may find off-putting compared to typical beer counterparts.

With a MyDryBar score of 69, I would say that the 1835 lager is worth trying for those curious about its unique profile. It’s a drink that invites you to explore a different side of non-alcoholic options, but it’s also one that could leave traditional beer lovers wanting more in terms of flavor complexity.
