And now, let the battle for bronze commence…
Old Harbor Kofresi Stout (Puerto Rico) vs Little Creatures Pale Ale (Australia)
It’s the Americas vs Oceania as one of the pre-tournament favourites takes on the shocking Cinderella. Old Harbor is a 6 per cent alcolhol by volume beer that has coffee, liquourice, caramel, and citrus flavours in the taste. The dry feel really polishes off matters nicely. Little Creatures is a beauty at 5.2 per cent ABV. Balance is king here, it’s got a mixture of orange, lime, and coriander in the aroma with a good touch of lemon and malt in the flavour. Both of these beers deserve to go home with a medal, only one can take bronze. Third place in the 2014 Basketball World Cup of Beer goes to…
Bronze medal winner: Little Creatures Pale Ale (Australia)
