Prohibition Repeal (1933) Trader Joe's Beer Blast

We have gotten to Friday and a key day in the drinkers' historical database. Prohibition of alcoholic beverages pervaded our nation from 1919-1933. I celebrate the 75th anniversary by testing two Trader Joe products one foreign the other domestic.
Trader Joe's Dark: Color-Brown orange hue Nose-Caramel First taste-Back throat Observations-Tastes alright Fizziness-Foamy head; bubbles Where Brewed? Mexico Cost-$1.08 Aftertaste-Smooth Rating-6.5
Trader Joe's Bock: Color-Cloudy dark golden Nose-Funky First taste-Strong on tongue Observations-Weird follow through Fizziness-Mild head; little bubbles Where Brewed? Chico, Cal. Cost-$1.00 Aftertaste-Not pleasant Rating-5.75
Final Thought-Individual Beers!!!
