Schell's Sangria

Schell's Sangria. Lager with natural flavor with elderberry extract color.
4.7 % ABV. August Schell Brewing, New Ulm, MN.

"Enter Vacation Mode."

Dark red, hazy, pinkish head.

In the nose: Sweet and fruity. Very berry.

In the mouth: Slightly tart at the start, then on come the sweet berries. Juicy. Light. Refreshing. Spritzy. But not very beer-flavored. That's my favorite beer flavor: beer-flavored beer. But this was clearly not meant for me. Probably a hit at that picnic in the park with your family. You brother-in-law's gonna love it. His wife, too. And probably your niece, who just turned 21.

As it is, I am very glad for the sample to try it out, and gladder still I didn't spend my hard-earned money on it.

And it's evidence, if we needed, it, that even the most tradition-based brewery has to chase trends once in a while.

Schell’s Sangria is refreshingly sweet and full of juicy citrus flavor. These tropical vibes will transport you to a new relaxation destination. So grab your can, find the nearest hammock, and enter Vacation Mode.
