Well I tried

The official results of the antioxidant test are in and.....my beer didn't fair so well. It was below the various assortments of naked juice and green tea BUT, it did better than the two energy drinks and even a chai tea latte. I believe the beer had a TEAC ( a measure of antioxidant capacity) of less than .06 per mL, which isn't great, actually, it isn't even good. To give you an idea, I've included a table from a study done on antioxidants in drinks to give you a reference. So far, pomegranate juice is the standard and has the highest levels of most drinks. Well thanks a lot for embarrassing my beer, pomegranate juice.
