Review: Karbach Free & Easy Non-Alcoholic Belgian-Style White

Drinkhacker

Making a good Belgian white is tricky enough. Now make it without alcohol. Karbach’s rendition of an NA Belgian pulls it off fairly well: Boldly flavored with lemon, orange, and that inimitable coriander character, the palate is bright and acidic — like it’s already had the orange slice expressed and dropped into the glass. The body doesn’t quite nail the foamy chewiness of a Belgian witbier — in fact, the beer is wholly transparent and not at all hazy.

What Was The Whiskey Rebellion?

The Whiskey Wash

The exciseman is a typically vilified person in the annals of Scottish history. In the 1700s, distillers in Scotland found themselves suddenly subjected to taxes on their beloved whisky. Some distillers, like those in Speyside, were protected by the region’s geography. Other distillers, like those in the Lowlands, were forced to pack up their stills and move their illicit operations to evade the excisemen.

The Best Bourbon and Whiskey According To The International Whisky Competition

Recently, I published an article breaking down The Best Age-Statement Scotch According To The International Whisky Competition. As such, it seems only fitting to do the same with bourbons and American whiskeys. Of course, the range of age statements in bourbon and American whiskey is not as diverse as with scotch. Most bourbons and whiskeys are aged for only a few years due to the differing climates and maturation speeds in Scotland and the USA.
