In 1859, Shaun and Nico arrive in San Francisco for the gold rush. Ten years late. That was Shaun’s fault. They stop in Cornelius De Boom’s supply store. Cornelius pegs our boys as suckers and sells them a forged “treasure map.” Shaun and Nico find themselves in a dinghy in the middle of the Bay. “Curse you Cornelius!” Jumping in anyway, Shaun finds two boxes of riches: In one, gold ingots; in the other, a rare and perfectly preserved beer. Suddenly, the dinghy springs a leak! They leave the gold and grab the beer. With this “liquid gold,” they become beer barons. They acquire De Boom Supply and throw Cornelius out the back door. Today whenever anyone gives them trouble, they exchange a look across the pub and say, “Lower De Boom.” Lower De Boom is a powerfully balanced American-Style barleywine packed with citrusy Pacific Northwest hops. Chestnut brown in the glass with notes of toffee malt, fruitcake, toast, piney hops and more than a hint of alcohol. Our liquid gold is the first American craft beer in a can offered in the traditional barleywine “nip” size. Perfect to enjoy sipped at the end of a long day. More than that and you might feel like the boom has been lowered on you.

Comes out of the can a clear chestnut with a thick and frothy buff head. Strong aroma has an overtone of Mandarin orange and a hint of caramel. Flavor is deceptive - you don't taste the alcohol. It's like a schnapps in that way. (BTW, my worst hangover was from swilling Peachtree schnapps.) Woody hops, sweet orange, caramel and malt dominate, and the alcohol bite is mild for such a heavyweight. Texture is very smooth and viscous, though lacking in fizz. Drink it slowly - preferably with a nice big dihydrogen monoxide chaser.

My first Barleywine from a can... Orange amber pour, tight cap, little lacing. Big hops and malts nose, piney and earthy and lingering, big sweetness, big hops. Caramel, ripe fruits, more hops, more bitterness. Decent enough.

Solid barleywine if not a standout. Light orange and grapefruit hops and a good dose of Carmel malts. Slightly fruity. Medium bodied, abv covered quite well... Slight bump up from 8.4 oz can and by itself. 3.8-4.0.

Tasted at the 2004 Pizza Port Strong Ale Fest. Medium orange color. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is orange, malt and sweet. A medium bodied barley wine. Malts are fruity and sweet, touch of orange and citrus. Hops are grapefruity and floral. Nice balance. Slightly bitter. Nice clean finish. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
