The sizzling expanse known as Texas has many distinctive flavors that are familiar to its residents, but alien to outsiders. To really experience everything the state has to offer, one has to trek through long stretches of barren land, the only consolation being that there is something unquestionably singular to be collected from the experience. Discovering what is at the heart of Texas is an arduous task, and for a beer to try to discover just what that taste like seems unimaginable.
Heart O' Texas is a red ale from Four Corners Brewery, the manufacturer of the previously reviewed IPA El Chingon. As seen on the picture, Heart O' Texas has a fiery red color that perfectly encapsulates the sweltering Texas heat. Moreover, the artwork on the can aptly captures Texas' infatuation with murals and mosaics. For a beer with 6.3% ABV, Heart O' Texas is shockingly smooth and effortless to drink. It does, however, feature a bold taste that may put-off drinkers who prefer lighter options. The beer's zesty citrus aroma complements the underlying sweetness of pines, caramel and fruit.
Heart O' Texas' refreshing aftertaste makes it suitable to drink on a hot spring/summer day. Even though it is on the cusp of moderate/heavy beers, it should satiate drinkers who enjoy their taste buds to be walloped by a maelstrom of flavors. Texas certainly has its faults, but there is no denying that it has much to offer, one of those things being great beer.
