A friend bought a few cases before Royal Docks Brewing Company shut down
It was sweet and refreshing after a round of golf

 

 

 

Canned on 4/2/20. 12oz can poured into a tulip. Pours a hazy yellowish golden; small white head that fades quickly leaving okay retention and lacing. The aromas have lots of lime leading the way. Some crackers and fresh bread. Some malts. The flavors follow the nose. More lime leading the way. Subtle hints of sea salt. Citrus comes through. More fresh bread and grains. Malts do their thing without dominating and almost take a backseat. Finishes clean and dry. Alcohol goes unnoticed. Mouthfeel is nice. It's on the fuller side of light-bodied with active carbonation. It's sharp, crisp, smooth and easy to drink.

This is a nice brew. It's basically everything that you'd want or expect from the trending lagers brewed with lime and salt. It's very clean and refreshing. I like it. Well done.

 

Backyard Crusher | Royal Docks Brewing Company. Poured from the can into a pint glass, I'm presented with a three finger thick head, webbed lacing, and a medium-light gold body.

Smells like bright malts, light floral hops, and tinge of the lime.

I also taste bright malts, light floral hops, and a tinge of the lime. Not too sweet or "adjunct-y". Very clean, crisp, and refreshing finish.

Medium-light mouthfeel with mild carbonation.

I'm gonna go ahead and give an overall rating of 4.25 to Backyard Crusher | Royal Docks Brewing Company.

Mild lemon aroma, pours a clear golden with a dusting of white head. Slightly sweet taste to begin with, some citrus notes and a touch of wheat present. Light bodied, and fairly easy drinking. Nothing really out of the ordinary here, but a decent hot weather beer.
