Boont Amber Ale, it’s “bahl hornin’”. That’s what it says on the label. Turns out these yocals are so far removed from civilization that they created their own language to fuck with the yuppies from L.A. At least they can make beer.
The Amber Ale is solid. Carmel and roasted malt, offset with some subtle aroma hops. Definitely leans toward the malty side, which is why I liked it. Actually fairly crisp and refreshing for a maltier beer. I’d put this in the session category for sure.
So when you cock a fister with your apple-head dis steinber el get ya in da burlap. After all, It’s not just shy sluggin’ gorms neemer.
Yeah, you’ll need their website and 10 minutes of your life that you will never get back to figure that out. Be careful though, it’s the site that inspired my rant about age verification.
Boont Amber – a tasty beer that I might have more of. Gorm it.

Considering this was one of the cheapest beers on the menu, I had expectations as low as my budget for the night. Those expectations weren’t improved when the first bottle poured flat (but the great bartender at the M&D dumped it out and opened another). In the end, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually a pretty decent beer.
Kind of malty – which is the way I like it. I tasted a bit of caramel and then some kind of hops. Probably cascade – seems they are the go to hop when hops just don’t matter. The label says its an Amber Ale, in case you couldn’t deduce the color and contents without their help.
Sometimes I shop by price – every now and then I don’t regret the decision. This was one of those times. Cheap was good.
