She’s buying a starway to heaven.
A bootleg recording is an audio or video recording of a performance not officially released by the artist or under other legal authority. Making and distributing such recordings is known as bootlegging. I checked my record collection and found a couple of interesting bootlegs. How about this 1974 Led Zeppelin album made by “Joker” records out of Milan Italy. It includes one of if not the most famous song in rock, Starway to Heaven. What is she buying? She’s buying a starway to heaven. Even MSWord spellcheck picked that one up.
As for this brew, Royal City is harkening back to pre-prohibition years with this Bootleg cream ale. During the prohibition bootlegging was a bustling beer and booze business back in the banned booze days, but I didn’t think it was pre-prohibition thing.* Always learning.
The pour yields a golden semi-clear beer with an uninhibited and unprohibited head. Malt and fresh on the nose. The taste is a great malt lager sweet with a crisp dry finish, and some slight bitters on the aftertaste, all working in unison. It has a creamy mouthfeel, a classy country cream ale. Solid stalwart steady suds. Consistent from first froth blow off to the bottom of the bottle down and dirty dregs.
When it comes to this post-prohibition pint, nothing up the sleeve or down the boot about this one. A completely legal classic creamer.
