A pale ale look, created as a co-op with an Alabama brewery after the lifting of a prohibition of sorts. Maybe because of the name, the grassy taste comes to the front. Plus some grapefruit rind, especially in the finish. Light but not boring. From the tap at CCB.

Very pleased with this beer. Good amount of hops. I believe that the ABV is higher that what is labled.

Beautiful color, with a round and resounding gold color, slightly caramel-brown at the heart; little flecks of sediment sit at the bottom of my Junkyard tulip, while billowing, big-bubble froth forms a cloud-white cap, and doesn't quit. Pungent-ass nose: Kaffir-lime leaf, Meyer lemon zest, grapefruit juice and candied-peel asserts themselves at first sniff—delivering on the can-patter's promise of citric redolence—but there's a touch of malty maize hiding around the periphery of the bouquet. The flavors, too, are—making good on the label's guarantee—citrus-focused, but that focus does not lapse into exorbitance, and is moreover quite smooth. Indeed, Wiregrass is really a confluence of a lot of great elements: lemon candy, lemongrass, dry grasses and straw, orange oils, a bit of laurel bitterness, a corn-premised silkiness of mouthfeel—matched by some carbonic bite—and very pale malt flavors that I find more crackery than biscuity, and that moreover are inflected with a bit of vanilla and blonde-agave.

A very solid beer that does a great job arguing for the intelligence of ending prohibition (both the more famous federal version, and Alabama's own little proscription on home-brewing).
